My dog has a bleeding bump that looked like a blackhead. What is it?

Question

My dog had a black head looking bump that didn't seem to bother him. I removed the white part of the black head and it gen looked like a red barnacle. It bled. I cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide and put bacitracin on the affected area. And covered it with a band aid. What is the growth?

Any growth needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take him to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.
