Brief Answer:
Doesn't seem like a blood clot.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I can see the picture you attached and it doesn't seem like blood clot.
I don't believe that it requires imediate medical attention.
I think it can be a fungal infection since it is like a circle with a whiter part in the middle.
If it was staphylococcus infection pain would be present, heat and possibly a pimple in the middle with pus.
So I believe it can be a fungal infection and doesn't require imediate medical attention.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for updating the next photo.
I still think that this doesn't seem like a blood clot .
It seems like a fungal infection rather than staphylococcus infection.
It is not an emergency so you can safely wait to visit your doctor on Monday.
