What is this sensitive white bump on my dog's back? Does he need a vet?

Question

My dog, Charlie, has an unusual bumb on his back. Almost like a large white mole. It appears he is sensitive around the area but not to the point where it generally hurts him. What is the bumb and how can I help him? Should I put some ointment on him? Does he need to see the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | 10 years and 5 months old | 6 lbs

This lump needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Charlie 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.
