Little pimple/bump/lump on mouse’s skin.

Hi everyone, I’ve just taken my mouse out for some handling and i was doing a little health check on her and have just found this little pimple type thing, she seems a little sensitive about it but not a lot. I was wondering if anyone might know what this is?

Thank you

You should absolutely take that to a vet ASAP. Lumps and bumps on rodents can be very bad news, even if they're tiny.

update, since finding this little lump I have also found another on her neck. I’ve set up an appointment for thursday so wish us luck!

Hi, I forgot to update but on the 8th I took Meatball to the vet, I had to have her put to sleep there werent many options, I could have partially had it removed but because of where it was chances are would have grown back very quick. Across two days the lump on her neck doubled in size, and when also considering her age ( around a year and 3 months) it seemed to be the best option before she started suffering.
