You might try an internet search, such as,
"What Does Skin Cancer Look Like?" It will explain the difference between an ordinary mole and skin cancer.
I had a strange looking mark on my ancle once and couldn't get a doctor appointment for any sooner than about 6 weeks. This was before I got my Medicare HMO. So I called The Medicine Chest and the Pharmacist told me to come in and he would look at it. When he saw it, he knew right away that it wasn't cancer. He gave me a cream to put on it and it went away in a matter of days.
Having said that, I'm sure you could learn to tell the difference if you try the above search. Once you know, it's really very simple.
