My dog has a soft, bumpy lump. Is it an ingrown hair or needs a vet?

Question

Is this urgent to need a vet visit? What could it be? It’s soft but bumpy looks like ingrown hairs. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 5 years and 4 months old | 24 lbs

I would say that this could wait until during the week for a veterinarian examination. This appears to be an abnormal growth of the skin. I would schedule an examination for this week with the veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
