Is Reddish Coloured Spots On Arm Sign Of Melanomas?

I woke up to some new reddish colored spots on my arm and one of them was raised and had the appearance of some melanomas that I have seen in pictures. Can they become visible that rapidly. I know it takes awhile for the cancer to develop and my question is only on them becoming visible.
