If it's something you haven't had diagnosed before, it's wise going to see the doc. The older you get, the more weird skin growths appear. In my 30s, I started getting papilomas around the neck (the little sacks that hang off your skin), weird round brown things that kept bleeding, scabbing, bleeding, cabbing, and odd shiny patches that did the same thing around the edges.
Every time a type of growth pops up I go to the skin doctor and he tells me that it's harmless and freezes it off or cuts it off if it's bothersome. And I don't worry about that particular variety anymore.
But always go, because the skin doc's message could always be, "Melanoma." Which is generally only fatal _if you put off treatment._
