Hello. Small lumps like this can possibly be from some irritation, but there is no way to know definitively without an examination. If it remains small like this, does not bleed or cause any interference in his eating, then you can watch it. If it should get larger or change in any way, do contact your veterinarian. Otherwise, if it remains stable, just point it out to your veterinarian at your next scheduled visit. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
