Brief Answer:
You should definitely see a dermatologist, earlier if possible
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through the problem in detail. You should definitely see a dermatologist. Although from the description it does not appear to be cancerous, since you already have a personal as well as a family history of cancers, you need to rule out any probable skin lesion. Although there is a possibility of relation to your eczema, there is still requirement to get it evaluated by a dermatologist. If possible, I would not suggest reducing the waiting period as much as possible.
Hope that helps.
