I'm worried about a lump I saw on my husbands leg today, on his thigh. It's a raised lump and he says he always thought he had a freckle there but it's got bigger and turned into a lump lately. I'm sick with worry about it. I can't stop thinking about melanoma. He's not bothered with it (he doesn't suffer from HA) and says he will go to a doctor if it gets bigger, but he said he'd be too embarrassed to go now as he thinks a doctor would nearly laugh at him (not literally, but that's how trivial he thinks it is). He says it's just my HA causing me to react like this. He really thinks there's nothing to worry about and a "normal" person would not go to a doctor with it.
I'm so worried about it I'm nearly getting sick. He let me measure it and it's about 4mm - 5mm in diameter.
Does it sound like it could possibly be melanoma? It's kind of a dark reddish/brown in colour.
Any advice what i can do here? I'm struggling.....

I forgot to say, I was thinking of googling something like "benign skin lumps".
Is this a good or a bad idea? I know we should never google but I'm so desperate to find out what it is
