It appears to be a mass- which could be completely benign (like a wart) or could be something of concern. I would recommend asking your vet to do either an aspiration or an impression smear to see if some cells can be sampled. This would allow you to know what kind of mass Moe has and whether they should pursue further treatment for it. I hope this helps!
