Brief Answer:
Seborrheic keratosis

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

I have reviewed the photograph. This looks like a seborrheic keratosis to me.

Seborrheic keratosis are well defined, slightly raised (sometimes barely) brownish or dark lesions, which give a stuck-on appearance onto the skin (as if they are pasted on to the skin). They are also most common on sun exposed areas like face, arms etc specially in older age group

Seborrhoeic keratoses are harmless. Gradually they may thicken and take on a rough, warty surface.

Treatment is destruction/vaporization with either CO2 Laser OR Radiofrequency cautery.

Do you have any more of these lesions? or is this the only one you have?

I would advice that you see a dermatologist for the most suitable method of removal out of these and that which is covered by your medical insurance

These are absolutely benign. They may be left alone as it is. However, if desired they can be removed with a co2 Laser.
