My dog has an eye bump with a scab that fell off. Is it serious?

Question

My dog has a little bump on the side of his eye that had developed some type of scab on it. I put warm compressions on it to reduce the swelling, assuming it’s a stye, and the “scab” just fell off. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 13 lbs

That lesion could be something like a stye but it could also be a skin tumor. A stye will typically heal within a few weeks. If the lesion is still there in two weeks or if it is getting bigger, I recommend to have it examined by the veterinarian. I hope this helps.
