I have a birthmark by the entrance of my anus, and what looks like a new mole on my chest. Can I wait 2 months to see a doctor?

I noticed the birthmark near the entrance of my anus months ago, is hasn't grown, and is black but has a hint of blue. The mole on my chest honestly looks like am ingrown hair, I can even see the tiny hair on my chest so I think that is an ingrown hair. And lastly I've had a tiny green birthmark on my leg for years. I was researching and read that any birthmark near openings on the body need to be checked because that can obstruct. Anyway can I wait 2 months or do any of these sound urgent?
