Not sure what happened to the pictures in the post, but the lesion has changed a bit in the last few days:

Big change. I felt under my left armpit and it is very swollen, and feels much more so than my right armpit at the same spot or anywhere. I also feel a dull pain deep underneath the lesion, with the feeling as well as weakness spreading to my left hand.

I am walking in tomorrow.

It was with my nurse practitioner. I'm on an HMO, so I must first get a referral.

I got the "tender" wording from this and other sources like this:

"Moles are painless. If you have a mole that is bleeding, oozing, itching or tender to the touch, it might signal melanoma."

Let me explain the feeling a bit better: When I touch them, they feel sore. Maybe "tender" isn't the right word here.

Anyway, thanks for the encouragement. 🙂

Thanks. I went to the doctor, twice. The first said "contact dermatitis" (and prescribed triamcinolone) and then the second (my normal doctor) said it was "color change in pigmented skin lesion" and "abnormal skin color", and did not think it was worth any further investigation.

I'm keeping an eye on it, taking a picture of it every few days to track its progress. I'm keeping up the triamcinolone to see if that makes it go away. I go back to the doctor in a month.
