Brief Answer:
injury, infection or tumor

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

this is either an injury (clotted blood), an infection or a tumor. I can't say whether it's a benign or a malignant one.

A rapid appearance is against tumors. Infections and injuries will usually appear abruptly.

You should contact a dermatologist for a close look.

Kind Regards!
