If you just noticed this, then it could be a bug bite. THere is a center scab there to suggest so. However, if it does not resolve on its own within 1-2 weeks, then it is considered to be a mass and should be tested by your vet or surgically removed and sent off for analysis to determine what kind of mass this is. I hope that this is nothing to worry about and resolves on its own. Best wishes and take care!
