I had a raised mole on my neck removed about 10 years ago due to sensitivity and bleeding. It was shaved off and no pigmentation was left behind. The doctor didn't send it off for pathology (I know this because I worked for her). I noticed today that it is growing back. It is brown in color, slightly raised, and it's within the very faint scar that was left behind. Should I be concerned?

The procedure sounds worse than it is. You may be sore for a day or two but it should not damage your clitoris. Pigmented spots arise on the genitals. If the doctor thought this is unusual and should be removed, I would follow his/her recommendation. A dermatologist can...
It may be a Becker's nevus. This is a non-cancerous growth. Differin gel will not remove it. See a dermatologist if you are concerned about the lesion.
I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist for an evaluation, without any photos there is no way for us to determine the best options for you. Best, Dr. Emer.
