I would absolutely take Jasmine in to the vet. That is very big and concerning to me. He or she may recommend a cytology (poking the mass with a slim needle and looking at the cells under the microscope) or a biopsy to determine if it needs to be removed or just monitored. Heaven forbid it needs to be removed, it will be a very difficult surgery as there is very little skin to work with there and if it gets bigger, it will be even harder to remove.
