Need help with a lump on comb

[jrharte]

He doesn't have any other symptoms, acting completely normal, no strange smells, eating good, and poos are OK, no weight loss.

Tried searching online but can't find anyone with a picture that looks similar. All other comb things are crusty with discharge, or cuts, or black and crusty etc.

He's about 8 1/2 years old.

This could be a simple abscess. Since this lesion is so close to the eye, I would apply terramycin ointment to soften the lesion. Apply twice daily for three days and reevaluate. Also, make sure he is on a proper diet. Similar lesions are seen on parrots who are lacking Vitamin A in the diet.

Soft lumps are cysts or abscesses, a hard lump is usually a tumor.

It looks like there is a yellowish scab near the front that might be the source of infection? I'd soak the scab (if it is that) with a warm compress and see if the lump can be expressed.
