I noticed this bump in my cat's ear today. It is turgid-soft (like a grape) and flesh coloured, but looks like it might be white underneath the skin. It does not appear to be painful. I don't know how long it's been there, but my guess is not that long, as I spend a lot of time with her and I feel like I would have noticed. To me it looks like a sebaceous cyst and I'm not overly concerned (if I found it on myself I'd be popping that sucker) but I wanted it to check in with you guys to see if I should be. I will have it checked out by the vet, but what with COVID they are still very backed up and it's hard to get an appointment quickly.
Just wondering if I should take her to emergency vet or if this looks safe enough to sit on for a few weeks, as the case may be.
Possibly related info: she is older (15 years old, give or take), in excellent health except (per her most recent vet appointment in March) for herpes and related respiratory issues, which are well managed. She is on low doses of azythromicin, lyseine and cerenia. She has one other bump similar to this (soft, fleshtone) on her forehead, but the vet said they can't aspirate it because it's too small, so I'm just monitoring it.
