My boxer has a growing lump and a red vulva lump. Is it cancer?

Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 10 months old

My boxer dog has a lump, it has been aspirated when it was pea sized and they said it was benign, It has since grown to be bigger. She also has a red lump on her vulva. Is this anything to worry about? ( she doesn't seem to be affected by these lumps )

I wouldn't be too worried about the lump on the vulva but i would be very worried about the other lump on the tit, as she is not spayed it's very likely to be a mammary gland tumor, for this reason i would strongly advise having it removed surgically and also to have her spayed (as this is the direct cause of these tumors).
