Brief Answer:
Please attach a photo.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Can you please attach a photo of this spot. It will be much easier to give precise answer.

If the spot is palpable as a lump, you can not leave it alone. Breast mammography and ultrasound should be done.
If the spot is just a skin lesion, does not change size, no redness, pain, itching, can be left alone.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
