My hedgehog has a lump on his snout. What could this be?

It’s about the size of his nose (the black part of it) and has developed quite rapidly. Two days ago, when I looked at him, I didn’t notice anything of the sort.  He is getting up there in age, about 3 this summer. He is still eating and running on his wheel and everything, but this lump is concerning. For now we’re going to wait and see if it starts to affect his eating, then take him to the vet. Could he have cancer? Is it just a cyst of some sort? Thanks in advance. — Marian
