Hello. This is definitely an ulcerated lesion, but a picture does not tell me if this is just a chronic, inflammatory reaction, a sever bacterial infection, or cancer. I think it is best to have your veterinarian take a look at this & see if all that is needed is a course of antibiotics to clear things up. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
