Crusty & bleeding mole - advice needed

Hello,

I have had a mole on my middle finger (right hand) for as long as I can remember. I have, over the past few years, noticed it getting bigger but there has never been any pain/discomfort associated with it. Last week I noticed that it had started to get "dry" (i.e. when I touched it it felt harder than normal and almost like it was cracking) and, as of earlier today, it randomly started bleeding.

To add context, I have been moving over the past few weeks so 1). I have been doing a lot of lifting/moving things so may have caught it without knowing 2). We've changed soaps in our bathrooms so this could be causing the dryness - I suppose I am just looking for some guidance on what it "looks" like. I have an appointment with my dermatologist on the 12th of October - that's the earliest appointment I can get where I stay in Scotland.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
