This looks a little more like a crust that I would expect to see secondary to a bacterial skin infection, so if there is a growth underneath I'm wondering if it has become infected. I would recommend having your vet examine this lesion - if it is truly a growth and it has been increasing in size it might be best to have a veterinarian examine it.
