Should I be concerned about melanoma? I've had this mark on my nose after getting dermaplaning (Photo)

Asked By:lealynnebe in Atlanta, GA

This has been on the side of my nose for about 2 1/2 months. I generally have clear skin and am 25 years old. I'm also African American so l'm not sure exactly what color I should be alarmed by when it comes to the lump. It is slightly raised but not painful at all. In my opinion, it appeared after a facial when I got derma planing and my theory is that maybe she nicked me there but my mom thinks I should get it checked out. Just want to know if it looks concerning.
