   Hello Phillip,

   We had another pet owner ask a similar question which you can read about here:

   One of our pros identifies the growth as a histiocytoma,

   And you can read more about what that is here:

   Most histiocytoma will shrink on their own. Simply wait a few months but if it doesn’t you will need to have it removed.

   My dog has the samething,but i desided to squeeze it and something came out like a worm so i kept squeezing it and something that looks almost like a sack came out and now his foot is okay,but i keep looking for anything else because he is very important to me 🙂
