My cat has an oozing spot near her nipple. What could this be?

Question

Noticed this spot on my cat about a month ago. Doesn't seem to bother her so I figured she scraped herself and it would heal. Remembered to check it tonight and it looks much worse. Any ideas what it could be? (She has anxiety and eats the fur from her belly...that's why she appears hairless). Pet's info: Cat | Russian Blue | Female | spayed | 12 lbs

Hi. It appears to be a mass that is oozing near that nipple area. This could be an infection or an actual mass. We get concerned with older female pets who have masses on the mammary glands. They can get benign masses, but they can get cancer as well. I'd get her right away to have it checked and sampled asap
