From the photos, Lucky's mass appears pinkish colored. I recommend to have Lucky examined by the veterinarian. Skin masses can be many things but red or pink raised masses are especially concerning for a skin cancer called a Mast Cell tumor. Your veterinarian will need to collect a sample of cell to examined under the microscope to determine what this is and if further treatment is needed. Have this checked out soon. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
