Thank you for submitting your question regarding Snow. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. The veterinarian will examine him to determine why his behavior has changed. To evaluate the mass, a small needle to collect a sample of cells to evaluate under the microscope. An infection under the skin known as an abscess can be painful. Skin cancer is possible or the mass could be benign. Based on these results, treatment can be started. I hope this information helps!
