Unfortunately I cannot exactly tell with the picture. My concern would be a deep skin infection , benign mass or cancer. I would recommend taking captain to the vet for a closer exam. The vet can aspirate the area and tell how severe the growth is. Hopefully it is just a skin infection. I hope he feels better soon
