Luna could have a few different things going on. Without a picture it is hard to tell you exactly. Young dogs can get non cancerous growths called histiocytomas. These sometimes will go away with in a few months. If the growth does not go away I would take him to a veterinarian to have an aspirate taken. It is also possible a foreign body, infection or insect bite is possible.
