If you are worried about it you need to see a doctor to put your mind at rest.

If a mole starts changing ie becoming bigger, a different colour, or crusty then it could be a problem. Otherwise no.

Dont worry, google is so bad with these medical stuff lol to ease your anxiety, we use the ABCDE mnemonic to help identify melanoma.

A - asymmetical - your mole is symmetrical so negative

B - Borders - your mole has defined borders so negative

C - Color change - It looks the same as a normal mole so negative

D - Diameter - the diameter must exceed 6mm and yours looks tiny so negative

E - Evolution - If is has stayed the same all the time and has not changed color, changed diameter, changed shape, etc then it is negative

I hope this eases your worries about this little thing at least :)
