I am concerned about the appearance of this bump. It seems ulcerated. I would recommend taking Capone to the vet for evaluation. They can do an exam and may recommend collecting a sample with a needle for evaluation of the cells under a microscope. If Capone is young, a histiocytoma would be common. Make sure that he isn't licking it at all until he sees the vet. https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/histiocytoma/
