Hi,
black spot may be due to pigmented naevi. clinical examination is helpful. as your gynaecologist has seen the lesion he/she has defintely made the correct diagnosis. anyway, any black lesion if suddenly starts to increase in size, changes its texture then immediate excision and biopsy needed because this may be melanoma. so please notice the nature of the lesion at regular interval. consult your doctor.
