Hello! Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! That looks pretty serious actually and I think you should get Polo to your vet for an exam. It could be anything from an abscess to a cyst to a tumor. Your vet should be able to help you determine what is going on and what the best course of treatment is. It is impossible for us to diagnose something like this just based on a photo. A hands-on exam is needed. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
