This could be a benign growth like a wart in which case we usually just monitor them. However if it suddenly appeared and is increasing and or changing and size it could indicate a more serious skin tumor. I recommend monitoring it for a day or two for any change in size, discharge, redness and or pain. If you notice any of those changes Molly needs to be checked out by her veterinarian.
