Mole On The Chest With Ring Around It, Seems To Be Halo Moles. Do They Cause Any Side Effects?

So I happened to do research a week or two ago about this mole I have on my chest with ring around it. I ve had this since I was a bit younger, but now that I m a teenager, I looked up to see what it is exactly. It appears that halo moles aren t uncommon. Does halo moles have side affects, or need to be taken care right away?
