It could be a dysplastic nevus. If it has changed in morphology recently then I would suggest that you get it biopsied.

Brief Answer:
Regarding your nevus
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Though multiple dysplastic nevi are one of the risk factors for melanoma but most of the dysplastic nevi never turn into a melanoma. However, any change in the morphology of nevi in terms of color (vareigated color within the same nevus), size (>6mm), shape (irregular, ill defined margins), surface (if it was flat earlier but had becomes raised) should be looked into and biopsied if it need be.
