It kind of looks like a tick bite. If it aggravates it you may need a vet to examine it.

My dog gets something that looks like this--a grey, hard ball. It always needs needle biopsied to make sure it is nothing. We have been fortunate (knock on wood) that it is always benign, but my sister dog had one that was cancerous and had to be removed.

Best to get it checked out by the vet ASAP. Usually, if it is benign, after the needle biopsy it goes away on its own.

Post back with an update! Prayers for healing!

Any change in the skin should be examined by the vet.

Normally these are growths on dogs and some races of dogs get them more than other races of dogs. No matter what any growth or skin problem needs to be checked out by a vet.

In some cases these can be cancerous and need to be removed.
