The strange mark on my arm

I have a strange mark on the inside of my right arm, near the top. I noticed it (or rather my wife did) just before Christmas. At the time we thought it was a bruise. I noticed it again yesterday (or rather my wife did). It is now bigger than it was with a central pale brown area of perhaps half a centimetre, with an irregular reddish area around it of about a centimetre and a half.

I can't deny that I'm worried about it - skin cancer immediately springs to mind.

I have an appointment with my doctor on Monday - we shall see.
