My dog has a raised lump on her neck near her collar. Should I worry?

Question

Just noticed a large raised round lesion on my yellow Labrador on the back of her neck where her collar lays. Wondering if I should be concerned? She isn’t acting any different and may not even be aware that it’s there. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 8 years and 8 months old | 75 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bailey. She appears to have a wart like skin mass on her neck. These are common in middle aged to older dogs. They are not typically problematic for the dog, but the dog may grow more over time. If the masses enlarges, changes in appearance or begins to bother her, she will need to see her veterinarian to ensure it is not something else. I hope this information helps!
