Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You may be referring to something like an abscess or even a growth. It is difficult to know without being able to see it. Having said that, the fact that it has been there for 4 months and has not improved, this is unlikely to go away on its own and warrants evaluation. I recommend that you have Blackie evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these possibilities and treat accordingly. Good luck and best wishes!
