Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sassy. She could be having an allergic reaction, a cyst or even an infection under the skin. If this is not the case, a wart, skin tag or unfortunately, skin cancer are all possibilities. You can try submitting your question again with a picture, but you will likely need to see your veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis. I hope this information helps!
