My dog has a small bump on his leg. Could it be from an old scab?

Question

Wondering what this bump on his leg might be? He previously had a scab in this location a couple months ago. It's half a pea size bump. Is there a remedy to this or should I just let it be? Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Male | neutered | 8 months and 23 days old | 60 lbs

This looks like a small growth in the skin. It could be a scar or reaction from previous injury or it may be a tumour. Tumours van be benign or cancerous. I would not panic overly about this as it doesnt look too nasty, keep an eye and get it checked if it is changing quickly. If you ate worried you could have it tested to know what it is exactly.
