Bump

Question
I recently just got  a Guinea Pig and he has a small bump on his face.  It's between his nose and eye.  It looks to be the size of a pea.  I was wondering if this bump will go away or if it is something I need to seek medical attention for?

Answer
it all depends on how old your guinea is.  Like people when they age they get pockets of fat around their bodies.  however i would get this checked out further with a vet just because there is a risk that it could possibly be a tumor.  Not to worry though because it is only small yet.
best wishes
