It is difficult to see in that picture but it could be an infection, allergic dermatitis, cyst, wart, benign, or cancerous lump. Your vet can do a fine needle aspirate to help determine the cause and then determine the best way to treat. He may need an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, removal, or your vet may just want to monitor for changes.
