My dog has had this growth thing for 2 weeks now. Doesn't seem to bother her at all. Will it go away on its own and what is it?

It is hard to tell if it is an actual tumor growth or it is just very inflamed from a nail bed infection. Either answer can result in surgery depending on how it responds to medication and if it involves the bone in an X-ray. It is unlikely to go away without doing anything though.
