I’m wondering if I should take my dog in to be treated for this growth or if it isn’t anything to worry over

If it doesn't impede motion or cause discomfort, you can monitor it at home. Symptoms to watch for include rapid change or growth, redness, discharge or discomfort. Your veterinarian may recommend a fine needle aspirate to collect samples for pathology. This may provide a diagnosis.
