Should I get a biopsy?
About a month ago, I noticed some new dark lesions on my left middle finger, which appeared out of nowhere. There wasn't any trauma to the area, and the lesions are non-painful and don't bleed.
They aren't very big, and haven't changed in size since I first noticed them, but their very dark pigmentation and sudden appearance have me a little concerned.
The other one is the group of tiny dark splotches towards the fingertip - geographical type lesions that are dark brown. (Looks like the Philippines).
It's just odd that they would appear out of nowhere, isn't it?

The main one is the black spot in the middle - it is about 2 mm and has fairly smooth, but not perfectly round, edges. There seems to be a little bit of a thickness to it as well.

I made an appointment to see a dermatologist on Thursday, but am thinking maybe I can save a $50 copay if people are like, "that is clearly nothing to worry about." I mean, do you think it's worth biopsying, or is it going to be one of those, "let's just watch it and see what happens in the coming months, bye bye $50" things?

Thanks ... it'll be hard to stop (I find myself in so many finger-worthy situations) but I'll try I guess!
I love the macro on my Canon S70 - my old Kodak, which was otherwise awesome, had no real macro feature to speak of.
