According to the pic, It looks like a possible skin tag (fibropapilloma) which harmless, some skin tags can grow a few centimeters but that's need to be confirmed by a vet on examination . that's especially important with any mass that is growing in size, appearance, or color. In addition if it is confirmed as a growing skin tag your vet may consider removal. The bottom line it will need to be checked by a vet.
