It could be an infection, cyst, benign or cancerous mass. Have your vet take a look at it to determine the cause. Your vet can do a needle aspirate to determine if any treeatment is needed. If it is a benign lump or cyst than your vet may just have you monitor the area for changes. If it is an infection than an antibiotic will be needed. And if it looks to be a cancerous mass, your vet may recommend removal.
