Hello. It is difficult to say definitively, but this does look like a small tumor. It is best to have a veterinarian look to make sure as if it needs to be removed, doing so while it is so small is often very curative. Hopefully, it is not anything serious & thanks fir using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
