My cat has itchy skin bumps that aren't going away. What's wrong?

Question

My cat has a couple bumps that look like a bug bite kind of. The bumps are about the size if his nipples but not as raised. They are not colored, oozing or crusty. Usually they go away on their own in the past but there is one that has not grown or shrunk in more than a month. He also is itchy, but that's most likely from seasonal allergies. He is 2 years old, make, fixed, up to date on shots and flea treated monthly. What are the bumps? Why isn't the one going away? What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 8 months old | 10 lbs

Cats get a variety of skin cancers, and also can get raised bumps as part of allergies. It could be related to Jelly's itchiness. I don't think this is an emergency, but I would recommend getting him to a veterinarian early next week for a check up to determine if this a mass that needs sampled, or a allergic flare up that can be treated to get Jelly more comfortable. Best of luck to you both!
