It's barely visible, but it's on top of my nipple and it's blended in. there seems to be some hair growing out from it. the black dot on the top right corner is a zit I think ( I never found out what is was called, but I had it ever since I was born)
Brief Answer:
Please, be relaxed about this!

HI and thanks for this follow up image.
I have reviewed it and honestly there is nothing to be concerned about. There is really nothing that noticeable for me to get worried of suspect any concerning lesion. I will say monitor only for now and only seek further attention if it grows bigger, painful or changes color.
I hope this helps.. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
