Lesions/moles without skin markings.

Hello.

I just discovered a lesion/mole on my upper chest/shoulder area. It measures 4mm at the widest, and it is light brown in color.

It's different from my other moles because it doesn't have skin markings like my other moles do. I don't know if it's a lesion or a mole. It is slightly raised out from the skin. It does not itch. It does not bleed.

I've read that a loss of skin markings could be a sign of malignancy, and that it leads to a worse diagnosis. But loss of skin markings also come at a later stage in the development of the melanoma, so, with that in mind, I'm not sure if my mole/lesion fits the bill.

Are there any other benign lesions/spots/moles that also do not have skin markings?

I have an appointment with a dermatologist, but it's not until September.

I was diagnosed with an eroded superficial basal cell carcinoma four weeks ago on my right triceps.

Thank you for all responses.
