My dog has this on the forehead and it keeps growing. I don’t know what it is and how to treat it ASAP. Dog visits are so expensive here. Please help. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 10 years and 7 months old | 190 lbs

It could be a sebaceous tumor. These are typically benign but can become ulcerated and infected. Without a physical exam and a biopsy or fine needle aspirate though, it is impossible to say definitively. Since it is growing, Sasha should be seen by your veterinarian for an exam and diagnostics.
