If concerned: Talk to your doctor about a dermatology eval for biopsy. This will make you more comfortable

Show your derm: I would bring this to the attention of your dermatologist. Especially with your family history and lesion that is changing or is new should be evaluated. Those lesions deemed suspicious by your dermatologist should be biopsied to obtain a diagnosis from a pathologist.
