  3. Randy - As long as you are going to see your doctor then I wouldn't worry yourself over something you don't know till you see them.
    That being said, below is a link to the Cancer Care center at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center. They have a well known and respected cancer center so they will probably be able to help you learn more if you have any questions if it comes back as something serious.

  4. elvis - Nah. These are not uncomon.

    Unless the thing is large ( like bigger then a gumball) or growing steadily there is very little need to be concerned.
