I'm kind of freaking out here.
Chloe has always had a mole in the middle of the tiny tan marking on her face, to the left of her eye:

Yesterday night I noticed that the mole looked "swollen" and the fur on top of it wasn't covering it like it always has. It's swollen, brown, hard, and feels like there's liquid in it possibly.
I'm making a vet appointment for Saturday morning (realistically, I don't think anything will change between now and then but if it does of course I'll take her sooner!).
Of course, google is pretty evil when you are searching for anything health related- so now I'm getting paranoid that it could be skin cancer. She loves the sun and although she has darker pigmentation, she has a lot of pink skin.
So... any ideas? I'll take a picture of the mole later on today.
ETA: Clarification on the tan spot!
