Thank you for providing a picture of Dash's bump! Yes, I would take him into a vet to have this examined and treated. He could have a cyst, which may need to be drained to treat. Each clinic has varying costs for the exam and treatment, and these costs will vary between areas and clinics. You can call around to get an idea of the cost, and I can give you a link below to help find low cost clinics in your area. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962
