Whats this on my dog? - eviltoast

Super weird, noticed it today on his right foreleg just above the elbow joint. Feels like there’s something underneath, and had this chunky white protrusion. Can’t find an exact match via Google. Expecting some sort of cyst or maybe a blocked gland?

    Holy shit, looks almost exactly like a botfly… Going to try this for sure… Don’t think I have any jelly. I’ll see what I have on hand.

      Gf seconding botfly. Looks like you caught it early. Smothering might work but she recommends vet because those suckers can get bulbous and cause an abscess.

        Yeah kinda thinking the same (going to the vet), don’t want to cause it to be worse. I just moved and haven’t found a vet yet. I’ll try and get him to one as soon as possible, thanks for the input!
