Any lumps or bumps in this area can either be a bug bite, inflammatory lesions, an immune mediated causing lesion, or a tumor. To determine which you have to get it examined by your vet or you can send a picture to either myself or one of the other experts here for our professional opinion. If the mass looks suspicious then you should consider having it surgically removed and sent off for analysis.
