Follow up appointment after Teledermatology

Hi lovely people, I wonder if you may be able to help me get some sleep.

A potential subungual melanoma has been checked out by cameras last week.  I have now had an apointment to see a dermatologist 3.5 weeks later (4 Feb).

1.   If cancer is detected by teledermatolgoy does anyone know if a biopsy is needed?

2.   If this was serious do you think they would have told me and got me in quicker for removal?

I'm going out of my mind with sorry and making things up in my head!  :(

Appreciate anyone who takes the time to reply.  Thank you so much!
