What is this red raised area on my upper abdomen?

[Skullpain]

A little over a month ago I noticed a red area on my skin. This dog developed into a raised red area. It then grew into 2 raised areas. Now there's a small red bump just below it. None of it itches it bothers me. In fact, if I don't look at it, I don't notice it at all. My PCM said it looks like a bug bite but I've never known a big bite to last well over a month. Nore have I ever had a bug bite that didn't itch. I wish I could put a picture up on here to show it. Could it be a sign of cancer?
I'm days away from turning 42, pretty healthy and active though I tend to tire sometimes and find I need a lot of catch up sleep in the weekends. Other than that, I have a persistent very mild sore throat on the right side only.
Thoughts?

Hello and welcome to the forum. We appreciate your question.  That's always concerning and I'm glad you've seen your doctor.  You may consider a dermatologist to examine this further.  Here's a really helpful article that may help you narrow this down.  From your description, this lump seems under the skin but erupting to a bump (bug bite in appearance).  https://www.healthline.com/health/hard-lump-under-skin#dermatofibroma  To me, this sounds possibly like a lipoma.  These are not cancer.  If you feel this is skin cancer, again, please see a dermatologist at once.  https://www.medicinenet.com/skin_cancer_overview/article.htm  paste those links into your browser and let me know what you think.  Keep us in the loop for what happens next.
