My Maltipoo has a hard, squishy bump near his penis. Should I worry?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old | 12 lbs

My dog is a year old and when we got him we noticed he had a bump above his penis it doesn’t go away it’s hard and squishy but it doesn’t hurt him in any way. It’s the color of his skin and doesn’t look like a pimple he’s neutered and he’s a maltipoo should I take him to the vet or should I not worry

Hi there and thank you for posting your question! Unfortunately, it is difficult to say for sure what this mask could be. However, from the sounds of it, it does not sound as though it is a cancerous mass based on your description. With that being said, if you want to know for sure what this could be then I would have your veterinarian examine it 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 further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
