      It's hard to get a good look, but I was able to pinpoint the spot in question by recording a video with my back to the computer and putting my hand on. When I feel the spot in green, I notice that it feels kinda rough, crusty, different from the other moles on my back which I either can't feel at all or which have a smooth, flabby bump. In multiple pictures, not just this one, it looks like a mole but it's looks different from the others. Here is the image:

      I'm going to try to move up my appointment on 7/21; also, I want to get an earlier-in-the-day appointment.

          No one can tell you if it is melanoma from a photo or a video. You are doing the correct thing seeing an expert. Good luck with bringing your appointment forward.
