My pet has a skin lump. Could it be cancerous or will it just go away?

Question

Can you please tell me what this is ? Will it fall off by itself ? Does it look cancerous ? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | spayed | 10 years and 9 months old | 8.5 lbs

This is a mass. It will not fall off by itself, since it is attached to your pets skin and isn't something like a scab. It doesn't look particularly cancerous, but I would still recommend getting it tested by your vet and still consider getting it surgically removed, since it will likely continue to grow and can cause problems (i.e. source of irritation, source of infection) later on. Best wishes moving forward with Tiffany and her mass. Take care.
