Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Thanks for reverting back.
I have seen the uploaded photos. This is a nevus (mole). These can appear overnight and come in as a XXXXXXX They may vary in size and colour, texture etc. They may fade or grow over time.

Nothing to be worried.
If you are still doubtful, kindly ask more questions.
