Hello Dr.,
Approximately three weeks ago, as if "overnight", in a 24 hour period, a lump appeared on the inside joint of my index finger, darker in color than my olive skin with no significant change in color or in size since. An additional, smaller lump, on the same joint has grown since, but on the outer side of the joint. This is a first for me.

I have a scheduled meet with my dermatologist on December 11th. Any urgency to consult before then?

Gratefully yours,
P. Farrah Taylor, M.A.
