My dog has a nose rash and a mysterious bump. What could it be?

Question

My dog has a rash on the side of his nose that looks to be from irritation from trying to push his face through his crate and get through. If this were the only symptom it would be an easy fix but he also has a single bump on his nose about the size of a ladybug. Do you have any idea what this might be?

It is hard to tell from the photo the characteristics of this bump. I would say it is possible it is related to trauma and I would monitor for now but it could also be a tumor (either benign or malignant). My recommendation would be to monitor it for the next 24 to 48 hours, and if it is still there in the same size or it is bigger I would have a veterinarian examin the area. Further testing might need to be considered such as taking a sample of the mass and sending it out for interpretation at the laboratory. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns you may have
