Scary looking mole?

My daughter (6yrs old) has had this mole/raised spot on the back of her hand for just over a year, we saw Gp when it first came up - they were not concerned at all, they did give it a name but I cannot remember what they said. I felt it was getting larger a few months later so saw a different Gp who couldn’t name it and wasn’t worried but referred us to a dermatologist - we’re on a waiting list.

I am feeling more concerned as time goes on about cancer or something scary, I’ve attached photos and just wondering if anyone has seen anything similar? Thanks!

If it’s growing I’d go back to the GP and ask to be seen quicker. From the picture it looks red and lumpy, not like a brown mole.

Take a photo of the mole with a coin next to it and do the same every few months to help identify changes in size.
