Hello!

Thank you for the query.

It is very hard to give exact answer not seeing it so a photo would make it much easier.
If this spot is there for a long time and has not changed shape, size, no redness around it, most likely this is a benign skin lesion. If this spot has changed color, size, started to pain or redness has appeared, it should be removed and send to histopathology.
The best way with such lesions is to visit dermatologist who is able with special microscope (dermatoscope) tell either this is something you should worry about or not.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
