Based on the history you have shared, it seems not to be very much concerned about if at this moment but for further reassurance the most appropriate approach should be to send a piece from the lesion for histopathology as this will eradicate the high index of suspicion for any skin malignancy. Hope this turns out to be something benign. Wishing you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
