Hello and thank you for contacting PetCoach. A lump in this area could be due to local gum / skin infection but it also could be a tumor (benign or malignant). A visit at your local vets is recommended to examine Gabby in full and decide on the treatment plan. Your vet may want to prescribe a course of antibiotics or anti-inflamatory agent first, to treat the inflammatory / infectious process. If this treatments does not help, a needle aspiration or surgical removal of the growth may be necessary.
