Hi there,

With out seeing it it is hard to tell what it might be. The fact that he knows it is there indicates it may be an infection or a sore vs a tumor. The only way to know for sure of course is to have it looked at and possibly biopsied by your veterinarian. In the meantime you could try a comfortably hot wet compress on it for 10 minutes two or three times a day and put a little neosporin on it.
