Hi, I'm Dr Johnson. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Based on your picture it looks like the bump is probably a skin tag. But it could be a benign mass or a cancerous one. You could talk to your Vet about removing it locally with lidocaine and sending it out for biopsy. Good luck!
