Skin cancer, especially basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, often presents as a new, persistent, growing red or flesh-colored bump on the skin. These lumps or skin lesions are also often described as non-healing sores. They may flake or bleed, but are not necessarily painful or symptomatic. It is very difficult to make a diagnosis from the picture you supplied. If you are concerned, your best bet is to see a dermatologist for a formal skin evaluation. The doctor may recommend a skin biopsy as part of the work up, or to confirm the diagnosis. Diagnosing and treating skin cancer early is recommended for the best outcome.
It's not possible to make a determination from the photos. I would encourage you to see your dermatologist to see if they might want to do a biopsy. Best of luck.
Thanks for the question, I do not delay treatment for any type of skin cancer in any way, unless there is a reason I would always move forward as soon as possible
