Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have seen the picture you have uploaded.
You don't have to worry at all as this is a cafe au lait macule which is a benign pigmentation seen in many normal individuals.
You can leave it as such but if you want to remove it for cosmetic reasons you have to go for laser treatment.
Hope to have answered your query.
