Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be a growth or it may be just an infection with severe inflammation. Regardless, it is infected and needs to be evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to get him on antibiotics and would be able to clean it well to avoid further issues. Best of luck!
