Brief Answer:
Dysplastic nevus

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.

This looks to me like dysplastic nevus and it means that it is not malignant now, but it may in future be especially if you are exposed to sunlight.

So I would recommend to remove it surgically and send to histopathologic analysis.

Let me know if there's any more queries.

Wish you good health.
Regards
