As dogs age they will have more growths. They can be from lipomas (fat), cysts, skin tapes or something more like cancer. If you are concerned about the growth and it is growing on Jasmine I would recommend having your veterinarian perform an aspirate on the growth. That way you can determine if it is something to be concerned about or not. If the growths get larger or change I always recommend removing them.
