This is a black mass that should very definitely be examined by your veterinarian, This could very likely be a melanoma or similar cancerous mass and may need to be removed. Your vet will likely do a fine needle biopsy to either send in to a lab or examine under the microscope to see whether it is cancerous, Please do not wait long to make an appointment with your veterinarian, This could, of course also be a benign growth, however it is not possible to determine whether it is benign or malign by way of a photo.
