Answers:
It may be not be, bit it's better to get it checked out by a professional!.
Your description sounds a bit like melanoma symptoms, Asymmetrical circle, different colors and it's growth!.
If the border of the spot on your leg is crusty or abnormal, it may be a melanoma!.
I'd recommend you get it checked by a doctor as soon as you can, even if you think it's just a regular mole!.
Hope that helped, I wish you good health,

Sounds like a small hemangioma but since it is impossible to guess for certain what it might be - your best advice would be to see a dermatologist for a real exam!.
