Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! From your pictures the white thing looks like a skin mass. It could be something benign like a skin tag or an sebaceous adenoma or something more serious. Sadly a lot of things look the same. I am not sure how old Jack is, but it might be best to have it looked at by your Vet and determine if it is a mass. If it is they may recommend removing it and sending it out for biopsy. I hope this helps and good luck!
