Hi there. I think you should take Bella to your vet for an exam. Personally, I think it is likely a histiocytoma which is a benign mass that will often times clear up on it's own within a few weeks to months. However, I cannot diagnose this over the internet via photos. Here is an article about histiocytomas for you to read: https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1676 I think your vet should check this mass to be sure. There are MANY other types of masses this could be - some more serious than others. I hope this helps. Best wishes!
