Lump on nose and red/purple color inside nose?

Hello,

I have an appointment next month with a dermatologist (I will be moving back to home state soon so it's when it has to happen). Some background info: last May I was on a cruise and wore sunscreen everyday, but there was a crusty brown spot there after. Over the year it has peeled and scanned over at random times. A month ago I noticed a lump (same color as skin, just has shiny look to it) and a weird indent in the lump. I have many health problems so I have learned not to put things off. Today after my shower the inside of my nose felt really weird so I looked inside and the back of the nose is very red/ purple.
