Hi i have a small, about 1x2mm abnormal looking mole on the palm of my hand. i am extremely scared it might be skin cancer. should i be concerned?

Skin lesion: The size is very small as you described, what abnormality you see is not clear, if something there for yrs and have not been changing, it is most probably benign, if you see recent change in size, shape and color have it examined by a dermatologist
