It could be that Benjamin has a cyst in that area, which is why the vet says it's nothing to worry about. Cysts form when a sebaceous gland in the skin is blocked and there is a build up of oil. They are benign, but if it's getting bigger, then it needs to be drained sterilely. You can take Benjamin back into your vet to have it seen again since it's getting bigger, or you can take him into another vet for a second opinion.
