My cat has a increasingly darkening spot on his nose that was not there about two weeks ago. I am not sure if it is something concerning or just a spot.

This appears to be just a change in color of the hair alone. No worries. THe haircoat in kittens often does change as they get older. As long as the skin itself looks good as you part the hair, there is no concern. : ) Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Take care. : )
