It is a growth on the upper eye lid. It is still small but some of these growths have tendencies to get bigger over time and potentially cause problems. It may, for example start rubbing on the eye or it may change the shape of the upper eyelid. I would suggest you to take Beau to your local vet for full clinical examination and to decide what to do with this small growth. One option is to surgically remove the lump. The other option would be to wait and see if the lump is going to get bigger and cause any problems.

It's probably not going to go away by itself and it will probably continue growing, causing more and more problems. for this reason i recommend having it checked by your vet ASAP, it will probably need to be removed surgically.
