Was wondering what these brown spots may be? Ive had it for a few years now. The single darker spot of the few, I vaguely remember getting after I plucked out an ingrown hair in that spot(whether that's the reason it appeared, im not sure) The other slightly lighter ones i assumed were from the same reason. They dont itch, hurt, or cause me discomfort in any way...it's primarily a cosmetic thing. Ive gotten all the HPV shots you start as a kid. Really hoping it isnt warts...imageimage

    Looks like a mole. Ideally get a Dr's opinion. Certainly get it checked if it grows in size or has been.

    See a doctor about it.

    IF it is a melanoma, it should be dealt with as soon as possible.
