Suggest Remedy For A Mole Appearing In The Clavicle

I had a less than 2mm dark pencil point mole taken out/off this morning. It had been on my right side clavical for years. It for the most part had been about 1mm. it had grown some in the last year or so. It was smooth rounded,slightly,slightly raised,It did not have any oozing or itching, or any bothersome problems other than it was noticed by me. It would be what I would call a typical defined edge. Do I have a problem????

Hi,

It may be compound melanocytic nevus. There is no need to worry at present..as it is a benign condition.However,if it s embarrassing,you may go for its removal. You consult the dermatologist. After thorough examination,he might decide to remove it either by excision or electrocautery. If it is not embarrassing,it may be kept untreated.

Watcht may be kept for conversion to malignant melanoma.

Thanks.
