I noticed a small black spot on my pinky toe on my right foot I preface this with saying I do have health anxiety so I notice every little change on my body roughly about a month ago was when I first noticed it and thought it was a blood blister It has not healed and I had not grown in size I m concerned that it might be melanoma

Hi
Blackidh discolouration over the feet can be the result of various conditions .
It can be post inflammatory pigmentation or traumatic or a mole or naevus or hemorrhagic in nature .
But it is good to be vigilant and get any suspicious lesion checked by an expert so as to rule out melanoma.
So I would advise you to see a nearby dermatologist and get the lesion checked.
