How would you diagnose this pink lesion on the back?

This week we revisit a case from Dr Mazharul Islam, in which a 56-year-old lady presents for a full-body skin check with no prior skin cancer history and otherwise healthy. This flat, pink lesion is found on her upper right back.

What is your clinical impression based on the clinical and dermoscopic images? How would manage this patient?
