Yes, this looks like a tumor of some sort; there is no way to tell what kind of tumor it is just by looking at it. Being that a mass was removed already in 2017 and now there is another is suspicious for malignant cancer. Your vet will need to do a needle aspirate of the tumor to collect cells for a diagnosis. Dozer has a lot going on with the tumor, the vomiting and the hair loss. Please get him to a vet for an exam.
