This kind of lump/growth needs to be ideally assessed by your veterinarian to have a definitive and specific answer. Usually there are two ways your vet can do that a part from examining it directly during physical examination. A biopsy can be taken under local or general anesthetic, otherwise a smaller sample through a fine needle can be aspirated (this technique is called FNA= fine needle aspiration). Differentials include skin cysts, infections, benign or more sinister type of tumors.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is unclear what this is without being able to evaluate him. This could be a benign or malignant growth. Oftentimes a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis. Most of these are benign growths that do need to be removed for palliative care as it affects the patient's quality of life and causes discomfort. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. I am really hoping for something benign. Good luck and have a good day!
