I have a small, raised, pink area on my skin. It does not itch or crust over. Could it be cancer? I was diagnosed with eczema in February. My eczemic rashes look similar, but they itch and sometimes crust over. Should I see a dermatologist?

I had a sudden mole show up on my smallest toe, I'm not sure how long it's been there but I would say pretty recently. Within a few months. I have pictures of it. Problem is I can't see a dermatologist around here for at least a month or more.... Is there anything I can do in the meantime? My dad has/still has melanoma spots show up all the time so it is concerning to me. Brown center slightly raised bumpy area in it/tanish red outside of that very irregular border. Mole on toe?
