This bump needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Lucy Lou to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.

They could be cysts, papillomas, benign lumps (lipoma, etc.), infection, or possible cancerous masses. The only way to know the exact cause is to have your vet do a needle aspirate and look at the cells under a microscope. After diagnosing the exact type of mass your vet can recommend treatment, if needed.

Hi, and thanks for your question. This lump/bump/growth should be ideally examined by your local vet to have a diagnosis established. Your vet should either perform an FNA (fine needle aspiration to analyze under the microscope the cells within the lump) or a biopsy to sample surgically the bump and determine its underlying nature. Differentials would include skin cysts, infections (unlikely), benign or more malignant type of tumors. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Poor Pablo! I would recommend to watch the mass closely. If it isn't changing or growing then I would recommend to just leave it alone. If you notice any changes or he starts messing with it then I would see your vet to look at it. Your vet will be able to tell you whether it is benign or malignant. Also they will be able to tell you whether or not it needs to be surgically removed. I hope this helps!
