Brief Answer:
Atypical nevus

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the image.

Seems like a dysplastic nevus/ atypical nevus to me- slightly raised with indistinct borders, bigger than a usual mole and with colour variegation. I suggest an excision biopsy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Doctor,

Is it a serious condition ?, I am on a on site assignment outside of XXXXXXX Does this require immediate attention ?

It started as a small dot about over a year ago or more than that, something like a hair stuck inside.

recently started noticing more since the black shade around it became more visible.

Regards XXXXXXX
