Spot near dogs eye

Dog developed a small spot within the last week, has gotten a little bigger, not sure if cause for concern. doesnt seem sore to touch  

Hello there and thankyou for sharing this excellent case.  I think the first thing to do, on finding any small skin lump, is to be absolutely sure that it isn't a tick.  Ticks tend to be smooth and can be any shade of brown or beige.  On examination with a magnifying glass, you can sometimes see legs poking out where the lump joins the skin.  They sometimes wriggle when poked (but don't repeat this) and sometimes get bigger within hours of being spotted.  If a lump may be a tick, always ask a professional to remove it because - particularly after they have been attached for a few hours - ticks can transfer disease to your pet. This one does not look or sound like a tick, although this should be ruled out properly and a professional should be consulted if there is any doubt.  Other possibilities include inflammatory or cancerous lumps to the skin or hair follicle.  A typical finding might be an inflammatory lump surrounding a demodex mite (every dog has a few demodex; a good immune system largely keeps them in check) living in a hair follicle, or some other cause of folliculitis.    Most such lumps disappear by themselves over a few days but if other symptoms develop or if this is not the case, your vet should be asked to triage the lump.
