Im a 15 year old girl and noticed a spot that is near the mons pubs and clitoris. I noticed it awhile ago but didnt think twice about it. But i noticed it might be alittle darker. Is it a freckle or some kind of pre-cancerous spot.

Sounds like a freckle or mole. Keep an eye on it with monthly checks. If it changes shape or size or texture, consult your doctor. However, it might be hormonal, and we get moles all over the body and throughout life. Next time you see your doctor, get it checked.
The American Academy of Dermatology suggests the ABCDE checking method:
- Asymmetrical: When you draw a line down the middle of your mole, the two sides should mirror each other.
- Border Irregularity: Moles should have a definite border. Melanoma borders usually have notches or scallop shapes.
- Changes in color: A mole might be dangerous if you notice the color isn't consistent throughout.
- Diameter: A mole should be no larger than ¼ inch (6.35 mm) in diameter.
- Evolving: A mole that sometimes changes in shape, color, height or texture is suspect. If you develop a new mole and it starts to itch or burn, it could be a sign that it's not healthy
