Hi,

The lesion you decribed might be mole....Compound nevocytic nevus or other.
You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Avoid squeezing the lesion as it might become infected with bacterial infection. Take a short course of antibiotic. If it is embarassing, you may go for removal of the lesion. It may be benign,so you may keep it untreated. But, if you feel to remove it, it may be removed by electrocautery, done under local anaesthesia by your dermatologist. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
