Hi,

You said that you have black spot on face. And the spot grows in size as the age. I think, you may be having melanocytic nevus. It may be congenital or might have developed in childhood. Size may be increased as the age. It is a benign condition. It may be kept untreated. If you feel embarassing, it may be exised under local anaesthesia. You consult dermatologist to have firm diagnosis. Still, I would like to suggest as below...

- the flat mole or junction melanocytic nevus may be removed by either excision or electrocautery
- before that intradermal inj xylocaine may be given around spot to have localised anaesthesia.
- after removal of lesion antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs may be taken

I hope this would help you in managing your disease.

Thanks
