Hello,
I will suggest you to tell about its exact size in centimeters. If it's less than a centimeter and painless and of same size as it was years back then no need to worry about. But if its increasing in size you need to go to your local area doctor and get its ultrasound and FNAC test (even if you have no symptoms).
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
