Lump inside my labs ear

There is a small red lump inside my 1 year old labradors ear. She’s not bothered by it and it doesn’t seem to hurt her if I press on it. It’s completely hard. 

Hello!  I can't see this ever so well on my screen so will have another look when I have a bigger screen tomorrow; from what I can see, there are many possibilities.  I mostly wonder if it could be a histiocytoma, sometimes known as a 'strawberry lump.'  The age would be correct.  Often a histiocytoma can completely spontaneously regress, but it's worth showing to your vet because there are many other possibilities, including melanoma, bruising after a knock or injury, a haematoma or an 'inappropriate' under-the-skin bleed (one that wouldn't normally occur - secondary to a clotting problems, for instance).  It doesn't obviously look like a typical 'tick ring' or other infectious disease that I can think of, but those are also a possibility. Perhaps because of the resolution I'm seeing this picture in, it looks as though it could even be a superficial wound or cigarette burn.  As I said, I will have another look soon in case I can narrow down my list. Whichever of these it might be - or indeed, it may be something different - I would advise showing it to your vet.  Some of the things on my list are perfectly ignorable but others may need to be acted upon.  Best of luck.

Ps some of the differentials for red, painless lumps merit a sample of the lesion to be checked under a microscope to reach a full diagnosis and your vet may elect to do this if they need a certain diagnosis and can't be sure (as if often the case) from looking.

Thank you so much for your responses. Def not a cigarette burn and she doesn’t have them anywhere else on her body. She doesn’t complain if I touch it. Here’s a better picture.

Hello and thank you for sending a better shot.  I agree it doesn't look like a burn on this one.  Other possibilities include a number of lumps - potentially malignant or benign, or polyps - not typical presentation.  Perhaps a foreign body being expelled, abscess, sting or other inflammatory lesion.  Generally, pain is associated with inflammatory lumps (reactions to things) and no pain is associated with lumps that have grown such as polyps and cancers (benign or otherwise).  However this is not a firm rule as some dogs can hide pain extremely well.  A reaction to a tick bite may be a possibility,  but this doesn't look like a tick itself.   We would still advocate consulting your vet ASAP and letting them triage to decide how soon you need to be seen.  Best if luck.
