Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! With out an exam or a picture of the lump it will be hard to say. Since Max is so young the most probable cause is a viral papilloma or an injury that has resulted in an abscess or local infection. If you want to repost with a picture we can try to be more specific. Have a good day!
