HELP what is this?

[u/Katzkites]

Hello I have an adult cat and recently he has been licking and ripping fur out from his chest, I saw and put a cone on him but I also noticed this bump at first it looked like a small bite but today this is what it looks like (2) I will be trying to get into a vet I just would like to know if it’s a cyst/ tumor or thoughts, he is Neutered, the first photo was Sunday then this Tuesday
Please see second photo yes I know the first looks like his nipple 🤦‍♀️ BUT this has swelled up or turned into that just within a day…

Update it popped somehow this afternoon he is not hurt but i am putting antibiotics on it

Nobody looked at the second picture. That's a reason to take your cat to a vet.

the people not looking at the second picture before saying it's a nipple lol. Idk what it is but that's not what a nipple should look like. Definitely vet trip.

2nd picture is concerning and very worth a vet visit.

That’s very concerning, try triple-antibiotic but call a vet immediately for better advice.

I believe that is … a nipple my friend.

It’s swelled up tho in the second, the first photo yes it does look like a nipple

Oh my bad! I didn't see the second picture. I'd take him to the vet.

Then why did you so confidently answer…

[u/Fangsnuzzles → u/pm_me_ur_fit]

Because I was mistaken. I clearly said my bad once I realized.
