What is this black dot pimple on my dog's eyelid and should I worry?

Question

HI my name is jerica and I noticed yesterday that it looks like my dog has a pimple with a small black dot in the middle of it on her lower eyelid. I was just wondering what it could be or if she needs to go have it removed?? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 2 months old | 35 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be a benign or malignant growth. This is often differentiated by a test called a fine needle aspirate (FNA) which is a pain free, inexpensive and easy procedure which in most cases will help reach a diagnosis. This will likely require sedation because of the location of the growth. Sometimes a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. I am really hoping for something benign. Good luck and have a good day!
