My dog has a pink hairless bump on his neck. Why is it getting bigger?

Question

My pitbull mix has a pink hairless bump on the back of his neck. Hes had it since we got him but we recently noticed it seems bigger in size. What could it be? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 1 month old | 65 lbs

A hairless pink bump like this that's been present for a long time is likely to be a skin growth or tumor of some kind - it could be either benign or cancerous. I would recommend having the bump checked by a vet when you are able to - he/she can do a simple test called a fine needle aspirate if needed to find out for sure what it is and whether it needs to be removed.
