      Thank you to all for the advices, which I have followed. I managed to get it checked by an good dermatologist who said that based on the macro picture, she had no doubt and it isn't a melanoma. The picture shows none of the signs of a melanoma and instead it confirmed it to be seborrheic keratosis, which is benign. She also added there wasn't a need to cancel the trip at this stage, adding if she'd had any doubt she would have advised against the trip. So a big relief!

      I'm still gonna follow a full investigation.

      Thanks again for all your responses.

      Thanks John, your quick reply is much appreciated.

      I should have clarified that the picture on the right and the high res one are from the same day. diameter hasn't change, but look and surface has.

      I'm wondering if I need to cancel my business trip and get to see a derm in a matter of days or if a week is ok. I'm just not sure how quickly these things develop. Any idea?
