Do I have cancer? This is a mole that turned black and weird.

you sure it isn't just a blister that filled with blood? or an infected ingrown hair that filled with blood instead of pus? have you tried poking it with a sharp object?
Go to dermatologist. I had a smaller one removed just in case.
To anyone else, pay attention to it's size. Is it growing? If, then fuck off to the doctor.
People should tell their doctor if they notice any of the following changes in a common mole:
The color changes
The mole gets unevenly smaller or bigger (unlike normal moles in children, which get evenly bigger)
The mole changes in shape, texture, or height
The skin on the surface becomes dry or scaly
The mole becomes hard or feels lumpy
It starts to itch
It bleeds or oozes
The "ABCDE" rule describes the features of early melanoma (2, 5):
Asymmetry. The shape of one half does not match the other half.
Border that is irregular. The edges are often ragged, notched, or blurred in outline. The pigment may spread into the surrounding skin.
Color that is uneven. Shades of black, brown, and tan may be present. Areas of white, gray, red, pink, or blue may also be seen.
Diameter. There is a change in size, usually an increase. Melanomas can be tiny, but most are larger than 6 millimeters wide (about 1/4 inch wide).
Evolving. The mole has changed over the past few weeks or months.
