Hello - I think this is an excellent idea.  Presumably it is a recent change and recent colour changes of normal skin are definitely worth investigating.  Possibilities may include cancer, endocrine disease, infectious (ringworm?) or inflammatory changes and having had a good look in real life and in detail, your vet should be able to propse a diagnostic plan going forward.

Given that this lump has appeared quite quickly in a 3 year old dog, one possibility of many may be a histiocytoma.  However, speculation on my part is probably unhelpful, so hopefully your vet will help to get things on the right track.
