This is a wart which is a benign skin growth. They are nothing to be overly concerned about. If it continues to be irritated and cause her to itch it you can have it surgically removed. These are just in the skin and can easily be removed. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Alba.
