Question : I had a small white elevated bump on the front of my tibia. I noticed it about a year ago. In the last two weeks, it's turned a shade of pink. It's symmetrical and smaller than a pencil eraser. I scheduled a dermatologist appointment but they can't get me in for two weeks. I'm really worried, it's skin cancer.
