I don’t have health insurance, and I have a cogenital mole that fits the description for a cancerous mole. Is it safe to try to remove it myself, or is it absaloutely necessary to talk to a doctor on this?

Does the mole ALWAYS have to be larger than a pencil eraser for it to be skin cancer? Or can it be a little smaller than it?
That is what dermatologists are for but can a plastic surgeon mainly dealing with skin, diagnose and identify a cancerous mole or other types of skin conditions like rosacea?
I’m 22 years old and this is my second really bad burn I’ve ever had, having received my first one when I was 19 (I never got burned as a child). I got this last one about five days ago, when I stupidly went “sunbathing.” I am also very light skinned, and burn easily. That being said, I seldom go out in the sun (and when I do, I’m usually well covered). Is it possible for me to have developed cancerous moles already, just one week after having gotten so badly burned?
Skin cancer does not run in my family, although I am susceptible to getting freckles from the sun. I also have dark hair and dark eyes, if that makes a difference.
