Hello, sorry to hear about Zorro. It looks like that may be a wart (benign skin lump). This can be confirmed by taking a needle sample from the are and looking at the cells under the microscope. Alternatively, if you think the lump is growing it would be a lot better to remove it now while it is small than a future time when it gets bigger primarily because of the location and the difficulty in removing large lumps from he arm region. I would recommend having Zorro seen and these lumps sampled/removed and biopsied to ensure this is not a more aggressive lump. Hope this helps and best of luck.
