Can You Identify This Lump?

Noticed this lump on my dog's inner ear flap a few days ago. It started as a brighter pink but is now turning more dull red with dark spots that seem to be discoloring the whole lump. It's hard and doesn't seem to be fluid filled. When pressed on, it just bled a little after. It's only on the inner ear flap and doesn't push through to the outside at all. You can see her ear hair is still attached to it.

It doesn't bother her at all but is really bothering me. I can't get her in to her vet for 2 (!) weeks so trying to figure out what I can do in the meantime. She is a 3yo Great Pyrenees mix who has been dealing with environmental allergies (ragweed season) and has a history of ear infections in the past.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!

You could probably send that photo to your vet and get a more educated guess than you'll get from anyone here. If they determine its a potential emergency, they'll likely find a way to get you in sooner.

For the safety of your dog (and to avoid possible liability issues for the forum) forum rules do not allow members to ask for or offer a medical diagnosis in lieu of a vet visit.
