This is likely to be a benign skin cyst, which is likely to be benign and without any consequences. Unfortunately, this lump/growth should be ideally examined by your veterinarian to have a definitive diagnosis. Your vet will examine it and possibly perform with an FNA (fine needle aspiration) or a biopsy.
