      I noticed this spot in 2010 and since then have had numerous dermatologist visists and check ups and no dermatologist has ever been worried about the spot.    I was 30 at the time and actually noticed it after a week at the beach.   I have never noticed any growth of this spot, it does not itch, it does not bleed,  it just sticks out everytime I look in the mirror and sometimes it stresses me out.     I am not sure what the spot is ?  It might be a mole or an ink drop lentigo but depending on the time of year it seems to change color slightly.   It looks darker in the summer months when I am outside more and fades during the winter months.   I was just at the dermatologist in June… so I do not want to keep running back to them everytime my anxiety peaks.   Is it normal for moles or lentigo's to get darker with sun exposure ?

          My freckles always get darker in the summer when I have more sun exposure.

                Yes that is normal, I have something similar on my head, right where my hair parts and the sun can shine directly on it. Nothing to worry about.
