It doesn't hurt, or bleed, it doesn't swell. Its flat and has a small hole in the middle of it, the border is not irregular. Its kind of blackish in color. I didn't know it was there, my sister seen it and thought it was a scab. But its not. I'm 47 y/o and have had sun exposure in my earlier years.

Thanks for your question. The best thing to do is to get a referral to a dermatologist who can examine the spot and evaluate.
In the meantime, you can read about Skin Cancer Basics for more information.
Hope this helps and all the best, sue
