My dog has a growing bump on his foot. Could it be skin cancer?

I was wondering if my dog has skin cancer. He has this bump on his foot that appeared about 2-3 weeks ago and it got bigger. The moisture is because I put some medication on, but it's usually dry.

This growth needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Google to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.
