Black Spot Above Ear Loop. Grew Bigger After Eating Lobster. Malignant?

Hi Doctor, I have a black spot (more like black and blue color) with the size of a bean just above my right ear loop. It s been there for two years. When I touch or squeeze it, I could fee the pain and notice the size would multiply. Two weeks ago after I ate some lobster meat, I notice the black spot sign grew larger. Based on my description and your subject expertise, is that malign or malignant? Thanking you. Winston
