Poor Dank. If it has popped in the past, it is possible it could be a sebaceous cyst or a malignant tumor. If it is currently bleeding or bothering him, you can try putting neosporin on any open wounds. I would also either put a cone collar on him if he can lick it as licking will only make it worse. Finally, since it is growing, I would try to get it examined as soon as you are able to see whether it needs to be surgically removed. I hope this helps.
