Brief Answer:
Better resolution close up pictures

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

I have seen the attached picture.
The picture resolution is not that great.
From what I could make out ,you seem to have developed either a mole or a freckle.
Both these are basically benign skin lesions .
Please tell since when have you developed it ?Did it come up recently or is it an old lesion ?
If possible ,upload some good resolution close up pictures so that I can guide you better .

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Right now ,I don't think it is anything to be very worried about .
But at the same time ,any suspicious lesions over the face surely need to be further assessed by examining them under a magnifying lens or a dermoscope .
So in case the lesion tends to increase any further in size ,then you should surely plan an appointment with your doctor .

Brief Answer:
Benign skin lesion

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Thanks for the pictures .
I have closely reviewed the pictures .
It appears like a naevi or a mole.
You can leave it as such if it died not increase ,
However if it tends to increase in size or is associated with any discomfort like itching or pain ,then see a nearby doctor for closer assessment.
