          I would definitely head to a doctor.  Can you go to a county hospital where they can't refuse to treat you?  You definitely want a biopsy of the blue spot.  This is NOT something to trifle with because if this is melanoma, you want to get it when it's local and not systemic.  If you can't afford the biopsy now, I'm certain you couldn't afford systemic treatment later.  Melanoma is most treatable when caught early, and you need to make sure melanoma is ruled out with a biopsy.

          As for the breast lump, do you think it could just be some type of cyst, ingrown hair or something like that?  Since you have both a lump and something on the skin in the same spot, it seems like they might be related like a cyst or something. 

          Please don't ignore the blue spot.  It's very important to get that checked out.

          Best wishes,
