What Could A Lump On The Side Of Wrist Be?

Hello, I have had this skin lump that is 4mm big ( on inner side of my wrist) that I thought was a wart, but it has a pin hole center and creates crust on the top. When I peel the crust, it is smooth and doesn't bleed. It doesn't itch. When I soak it in the water, I can see it like transluscent center that has a plug in the middle and a white tissue there is around the plug has something that looks like pores. It doesn't look like a wart. I have an app with the dermatologist but I have been waiting for weeks to go there and I am worried I have a cancer. The lesion is skin color to pink.

Hi. Gone through your history.
This is not a cancer for sure.
This can be a molluscum contagion , please do not rub or fiddle with it or it may spread to other parts of the body. See a Dermatologist.
If you have such a long waiting period , you can post/ load a clear photograph on this site for us to help you more with the diagnosis. Skin conditions are diagnosed on inspection only .
