This lump on Bella could be a cyst. Cysts can burst and reform, and surgical removal of them does cure it. Cysts are not fatal, but it is a good idea to have it removed because it keeps growing and bursting. The area could become infected from this. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com
