I have been watching it for 3 weeks now and it is getting worse each day. It has a red area around it and is a little swollen and the color is deep purple and whitish blue color. It does not hurt to the touch. I cant see my dr till Nov. 3rd is the first available date not sure what I should do. Not sure what it is.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If it is finally diagnosed "Melanoma" then I would advise you to take the lesion seriously, for what you have described here , it may not be a emergency, but early detection of any pahological process can give good clinical response and result, you can go to ER, so they can inform the concern department for early treatment, have nice day.
