Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be a benign or malignant growth. This could have also being a cyst or an abscess based on your description. There is no way of knowing for sure without an examination though this represents a reason to seek veterinary care. This is usually determined with an examination and a fine needle aspirate (FNA) or a biopsy. Treatment depends on the findings up to that point. I recommend you have Aili valuated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good night!
