Weird light brown mark on middle of my neck

I just realized i have a weird a little bigger than quarter-sized light brown mark in the middle of my neck.

i've been researching skin cancer a bit but all of the images ive seen of the spots have been way more dark brown than mine. i just wanted to make sure..but does it start off lighter and turn darker? mine isn't raised at all, but a little rough.. looks kind of like a sun mark you would get on your face or something... can anyone give me some insight? thanks so much!!
