Benign cists are common there but always better get it checked out at vet for piece of mind

Could be an abcess too if it feels warm. That's an area the dog can't reach to bite at thorns, ticks and the like.

Vets are usually over pricey but are good at lumps and bumps and if you ask early on roughly what it might cost as you have to sort the money out.........well they are sometimes surprisingly helpful. Best of luck with it mate.
