This appears from the photo to be a skin growth called a sebaceous adenoma and is likely benign. It is always best to have your vet examine your dog to make sure that this is confirmed. There is no way to make this go away without surgical removal by your veterinarian. These little masses can sometimes be a nuisance as they can bleed and become infected but otherwise are not typically harmful.
