Lump found on piggy’s back

[G&C]

Hi there, does anyone have any idea what this could be on my guinea pigs back? It doesn’t cause him any discomfort, I’ve never noticed it before...

You can only see/feel it when you gently push his fur apart. I noticed it when checking for lice last night.

It's not possible to diagnose what this is from a photo. It's best to get your vet to check it. Most skin lumps are harmless cysts but better safe than sorry!

It is impossible to diagnose lumps just from a picture. They need a hands-on vet assessment.
However, the good news is that lumps sitting loose in the skin are generally harmless, so please don't panic. What a vet is going to propose depends on the nature of a lump, where it sits and how big it is as well as on the age of thee piggy in question. There is not one solution that fits all cases,
