This looks like a histiocytoma but of course there is no way for me to know for sure just by looking at a photo. Histiocytomas usually will regress on their own. I would just monitor it and if it does not go away in a few weeks then you should have your vet examine it. ( https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952066 )
