I have a really swollen gland on the right side of my neck. Not the left. Also, I have had a mole on the right side of my neck but in the past week I have noticed that the mole has become raised and itchy. Could it be cancer? HELP!

It did this once before. I thought it was an embedded flea but it shrunk back down and looked like a mole. Is this a mast cell? It is between his hind legs on the hairless part of his belly. He’s a miniature dachshund age 6. The skin around it is fine, not red or swollen. Anybody have any thoughts on this. I will take him to the vet in the morning, but I’d like to not worry so much tonight. Thanks!

I’m curious, why don’t people who have warts/moles removed when they are on the face? Is it cancerous to remove moles (not the brown ones).
