Should I be worried about my dog's raised, oozing skin growth?

Question

My 10 year old Lhasa-mini poodle mix has a dime sized, raised, oozing growth. It scans over but the scab quickly falls off. He isn’t bothered by it, but I am concerned. Pet's info: Dog | Lhasa Apso | Male | neutered | 11 lbs

Poor guy. This does appear to be a very angry mass and I am a bit worried about the color. I would highly recommend getting this mass removed surgicallly by your vet and submitted for analysis. The color is suggestive that this can be a cancerous mass, so getting it removed is best for him moving forward. Even if it isn't cancerous, it is already showing signs that this mass will be hard to stabilize otherwise, so surgical removal may be the best option here I hope that your pet Benson gets some resolve to his angry skin mass soon! Best wishes and take care.
