black spot on body reason - #12997

Sai

I am pretty worried right now, cause I noticed a black spot on my body that wasn’t there before. It started as this tiny dot, maybe a little bit darker than my skin tone, but now it’s grown a bit and kind of freaks me out. I keep looking at the mirror, and the black spot on my body makes me feel paranoid! Like, what could this mean? I remember a few weeks ago, I spent a lot of time in the sun, probably too much without sunscreen—could that be the reason? I also had a friend who had a similar black spot on her leg, and it turned out to be something serious, but I never got details. My spot doesn't itch or hurt, but I can't help but think about the worst-case scenarios. I did try to look it up online (I know, shouldn't do that) but all I found were these vague reasons, like possible skin conditions or just age spots. Is there a chance the black spot on my body could be harmless, or should I be rushing to see a doctor? I mean, how do I even know if it’s something to seriously worry about or just a random skin thing? Hoping someone can give me some clarity on the black spot on my body, cause I’m tired of stressing about it!
