Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Unfortunately, your pictures are not very clear, but from what I can see, this does not look very happy. This may be a skin cancer that needs to be evaluated by your veterinarian. I hope you can have this addressed as soon as possible. All the best for Nena.
