My dog has a skin bump for weeks, acting perfectly normal. What is it?

Question

This has been on my talk for roughly two weeks. It hasn't gotten any worse and it hasn't gotten any better. She's acting perfectly normal but I'm just wondering if you have any idea what it is until I can get her to a vet? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 18 lbs

Hello, thank you for your question about Oona. Based on the photo that you've attached and the lack of symptoms I suspect that this is a benign skin lesion such as a blood blister, cyst, or mild infection of one of her sweat glands/hair follicles. Since Oona is not bothered by this lesion and it has not changed I would recommend continuing to monitor her. If at any point she starts to rub/scratch at the area or you notice it growing in size I would recommend having her seen by your veterinarian. Hope this helps!
