Thanks for reaching out about Coco. A picture would be a little more descriptive, but a lump on the cere could be a feather cyst, abscess, tumor, inflammation or other. A diagnosis is needed to treat. If affecting quality of life or continues to grow, a veterinary visit is recommended as soon as possible to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.
