What is this growing lump on my dog's ear and how do I treat it?

Question

What is this lump on my dogs ear. At first I thought it was a scab but after returning from vacation it is now grown to a point where I’m worried. It also no longer looks like a scab at all. What could this be and how do I treat it? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 10 months and 4 days old | 45 lbs

I suspect this is a histiocytoma, in which case, it should resolve on it's own within a few months. Don't put anything on it, just leave it alone. If it does not go away in a couple months then have your vet check it. ( https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952066 )
