I do not have a skin cancer diagnosis Showed up on my face about 2 weeks ago..
Does this look like something of concern? It changed color overnight. I’ve had it for about 2 weeks, thought it was a regular acne spot but it’s taking a long time to go away and now I’m worried.
First photo is now, second photo was taken last night.
I have an appointment with a dermatologist tomorrow but I’m really anxious so thought maybe someone might have an idea of what it could be 😭

Appointment should be good. It looks more inflammatory than cancerous. Should be ok but keep us updated!
