Hello there and thank you for your post! It looks like a raised skin mass. Many of these are benign cysts or glandular tumors but to be on the safe side I would have your vet take a look at this. We can do a simple test on something like this by sticking a small needle into the mass and look at the contents under the microscope. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions / concerns you may have.
