I am sorry to hear about Cinnamon! This could be a cyst, an abscess, an infected growth, a foreign body reaction, and more. I would stop putting peroxide on it as this can delay healing, and would just clean with a mild soap and apply an antibiotic ointment, and make an appointment for your vet to examine the area.
