This does look like a wart or a tumor, possibly a melanoma. You will need to take him to your vet to have this examined and removed while it is small. Even a wart should be removed in this location while it is small, as eventually it will grow and then bother the dog. When it is big and needs to be removed, there may not be enough tissue to close the wound, so it should be taken care of while it is little.
