My dog's scab became a hard red lump under her skin. Is it serious?

Question

My dog had what seemed be be a small lump on side which was actually just a tiny scab but over the last week the crusty scab turned into the size of a twenty cent piece. I cleaned the scab off and there is a hard red lump under her skin the same size. Can you please help me

A photo would be very valuable in determining what this might be. So if you could upload a sharp photo of the lesion and show where exactly on the body it is we can likely help you better. Please ask again adding photos. Also tell us a little more about your dog: age, breed, weight, how long the lesion has been there, does it itch, is there pain, etc. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
