It could be a small pustule, cyst, or mass. The only way to know the exact cause is to have your vet do a needle aspirate. It would be a good idea to have your vet take a look at it at some point. He may need an antibiotic, it may need to be removed, or your vet may just want to monitor the lump for growth or changes.
