My dog has a new pinkish brown bump on his leg. Should I worry?

Question

Hello, I found a brown pinkish bump on the back of both my dog forelegs. I haven't seen it before and am wondering if I should be concerned. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 8 years and 11 months old | 15 lbs

I recommend to have Sir Eli examined by the veterinarian. Skin masses can be many things but red raised masses are especially concerning for a skin cancer called a Mast Cell tumor. Your veterinarian will need to collect a sample of cell to examine under the microscope to determine what this is and if further treatment is needed. Have this checked out soon.
