It looks like a skin tumour (it is impossible to say for sure if benign or malignant) or a cyst. The way to make the diagnosis is to aspirate the lump with a needle and examine the aspirate under the microscope or send it off to external laboratory for more detailed tests. Please, take Temper to your local vet to get him checked and hopefully, to make the diagnosis and get treatment for your dog. Surgical removal of the lump would be most likely the suggested treatment.
