Hey Gal,
I'm so sorry you're going through this. Like madwand, I don't think you'll have to have a mammogram since it is a sore, not a lump. I had a lump removed last year (I'm 23 by the way), but they didn't do a mammogram on me because of my age. In the worst case, your insurance WILL cover whatever procedure you need.
However, you really should go to a dermatologist to get those moles checked out. I had two removed from my legs a few weeks ago. It's a really quick procedure.
And your dermatologist could check out the sore as well!Anyway, good luck!! I was completely freaked out last year about the lump in my breast (it was benign, btw). Mentally, it's a very difficult thing to go through, because you automatically assume the worst possible scenario.
Hope this helps...
