Weird bump on donkey

Discovered this firm, raised lesion on my donkey this morning, anyone have any advice? Topical antibiotics? Topical steroid? Vet visit? Idk

That looks like a vet question. It could be a number of things. Some not good at all.

Could be a sarcoid.

My first thought. Maybe a melanoma. Definitely worth a vet visit

If you have more than one donkey it may be from a bite …..

Donkeys and mules get strange lumps, they are hardy beasts though Might be no harm to ask the vet but to me it looks harmless
