Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is sometimes seen with fungal infections such as one caused by Cryptococcus or cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma. However, it could also be something more benign. There is evidence of bleeding at some point. I recommend taking Tutie to her veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to diagnose this and proceed accordingly. They may decided to take biopsies or samples of this to try to reach a diagnosis. Treatment depends on the findings. Best of luck!
