It is difficult to know what this lump could be without seeing it. It could be a skin tag or a growth of the oil glands in the skin. It might also be a cyst or an infection. If you are able to take a good picture of it, you could submit another question on the forum and see if we can give you a more specific answer as to what it might be. Typically, I recommend evaluation by a veterinarian so they can take a sample of it and give you a diagnosis. That way you will know what needs to be done. If it is benign, you might just need to monitor it. If it is more serious, it may need to be surgically removed.
