In most cases they are painless, and in a small number of cases patients cite pain or itching in the region.The size can rarely get larger, but the intensity of the color may change over periods of time.
Diagnosis is easily made by clinical examination ( by eye), and dermoscopy. Biopsy is rarely needed.
If it doesn’t cause any nuisance and doesn’t present an esthetical issue, it can be left untreated.
