Is a tiny brown speck on scar a sign the mole will grow back?

Jamesbond77
Three months post-op (shave removal) my scar has improved significantly. My only concern is that there's now a very very small dark speck in the center of the scar. You can barely see it unless you look really close, but I'm afraid that this is a sign that the mole will grow back. However, I was unable to wear sunscreen for a few days so it might be from sun damage. Should i get it checked out?
