It may be a benign sebaceous mass. You would need to have May physically examined by your veterinarian for confirmation. These masses can be removed if they get large or ulcerated. Removal does not guarantee another will form in thebsamebspot or a difference location. Place an e-collar (cone) on her to prevent licking.
