Brief Answer:
nevus
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
That black spot is a simple epidermal nevus.
It is a common thing and is totally harmless.
It can easily be removed using radiofrequency ablation.
Skin lightening creams like hydroquinone and tretinoin based creams can also be helpful.
You can try these.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
