Is the lump ON the skin? If not then a dermatologist would be a waste of time/money. A surgeon isn't the way to go either!
If you suspect it a cancerous growth then get to an oncologist otherwise find a NEW general practice vet and have them do a needle aspirate of the lump. They will check the contents and give you a recommendation.
I wouldn't automatically jump to something serious in a 2 year old. Hard to say that seeing how my girls cancer started at age two but she just had bad luck. Watch it for a week and if it changes for the worse have it looked at. If it goes away and then returns in the same place that is a bigger indicator of a MCT.
You are hyper sensitive due to all the health issues going on with your other pup (rightfully so) but take a deep breath. This may very well turn out to be nothing (praying that is the case).
