From the photo this looks like a normal nipple. Male cats have nipples like females but they are small like in the photo. Usually four or so on each side. If that isn’t a nipple then it’s a benign wart that doesn’t need any treatment. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Melow.
