We noticed this lump on our dogs face Friday. Unfortunately he itched/scratched it Saturday and now it’s an open wound. He has not stopped eating food or drinking water & he is still active and plays. He’s now wearing a cone and we used a spray recommended by a petco vet to keep it from itching & getting infected. Not sure what else we should do. Thank you for your help.

This lump/bump/growth should be ideally examined by your local vet to have a diagnosis established.
Your vet may want to perform an FNA (fine needle aspiration) or a biopsy to sample the bump and determine its underlying nature.
Differentials would include skin cysts, infections, benign or more malignant type of tumors.
