If it doesn't seem to bother Peanut, this could be a skin lesion called a histiocytoma (a benign, non-cancerous skin mass). Another possibilty if a reactive insect bite (if it becomes bothersome or gets worse). It is best to have your vet look at it and get samples from it to properly identify this skin lesion. If it is considered to be a histiocytoma (which is very likely), then these usually resolve on their own within 2-4 weeks (self limiting). Only a few require moderate wound management or surgical removal. Best wishes moving forward with Peanuts skin. Take care.
