What is this white lump between my dog's front legs? Is it a cyst?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 5 years old | 13 lbs

We’ve had our Romanian rescue dog for 1 year, she’s always had this little white lump between her front 2 legs. She had a health check with vets when we first got her and nothing was said, it doesn’t bother her and hasn’t changed in size or colour but I’m curious as to what it could be. It’s like it’s a cyst/bubble type lump. There’s a tiny one that’s popped up nearby it, i noticed that one today. Thank you.

It looks like a little wart or tiny cyst. These aren't unusual in mature dogs, but it's worth mentioning it to your vet the next time she's in for her annual visit just to make sure. If it does change color, texture, or size, get her in sooner to have it checked.
