The lump you are seeing could be a mass, or it could be a skin lesion caused by bacterial, parasitic or fungal infection, dietary or environmental allergies or sensitivities, or could be a combination of the above. I recommend making an appointment to have Rambo seen by your veterinarian to help determine the cause of the lump you’ve noticed and to make sure it is treated appropriately. The vet will likely want to look at a sample from the area under a microscope to determine what is causing the lump and to provide treatment, as it is not always possible to determine if a lump is benign or malignant just by looking at it.
