What you're describing could be a keratinized cyst, a foreign body, a wart, or some other type of tumor. If possible I recommend your veterinarian do an exam to make sure removal isnt necessary. Otherwise continue to monitor it for any change in size, shape, consistency such as firmness, as well as pain.
