Ouch!  If your question is whether or not it might be cancer, I’m sorry to say that there are no reliable ways to know.  If it’s a small tumor, there’s also no reliable way to tell if it’s cancerous just by looking.

Are there any signs or symptoms that it's cancerous, or do I need to consult a dermatologist to be sure?
user
I’m sorry but I have no expertise in diagnosing skin conditions, which is a medical specialty.  I can ask our dermatologist how to respond here, and will do so for you, but that’ll just be his best guess, just as I’m trying to provide you.

How much do dermatologist consultations cost for moles?
