growing mass on neck

Hello, I am a 39 yr old female, with a family history of skin cancer.  I have a mass growing on the outside of my neck.. It sort of resembles a mole, but there has never been a mole there.  It has no sensation, in the mass itself. It is reddish in color. and is somewhat soft and shiny.   I do, however, have some pain around the mass. It has bled from my 6 month old grabbing it, and there seems to be a scablike ring around it.  Not sure if it is a scab or dried blood, it is on the side of my neck, towards the back.  I have called my doctor, and cannot get an appointment until the first week of March.

If it is getting bigger I'd try and see the doctor earlier. It could be lots of things of course.

Good luck.
