Hi my dog has this red bump on his chin. It looks almost raw. Doesn’t seem to be bothering him too much. I’m just hoping it’s not a mass or anything. Any ideas what it might be? 6045F93E-552B-47A6-B63B-1810CD15989C487BE44E-63D5-4A78-934D-62CE8599E75A3C5C359C-1B58-4E8D-885F-DF0507FF07BC

Hello!  A 'mass' is simply tissue that takes up space - the concern is whether a mass is, for example, inflammatory (i.e. a reaction to something) or cancerous (which can be benign or malignant).  Sometimes in that place, a combination of allergy and drool, or even a tooth rubbing, can lead to some interesting lesions. Your vet would examine the area for clues and may propose trial treatment to see how it responds, or may require a sample in order to assess the cell-types within the lesion.  It's well worth showing to them (inflammatory sounds mild, but sores can get wider very quickly sometimes).  Please do let us know what happens next.
