I don't know whether I'm being paranoid after all of the Kahlua issues, but this morning Houdini had this under her nose:

In terms of how it's raised, it's like the pig in this thread: Small Sudden Growth On Nose? Wart?
It's not just flat with grey edges otherwise I would've said fungal without question. It has developed literally overnight as we had them out late last night/early morning (we napped and ruined our sleep pattern).

Does anyone have any first thoughts? Vet appt may be difficult in the next week as I'm deputising for my manager and OH is on probation at a new job. I've cleaned it with a cotton bud and hibiscrub and Kahlua has nothing similar on her body.
 
It has a small tag in the middle so not completely flat. Will have another look her when we're cleaning out the hay :(
 
I think it may look like some kind of cyst? if so it is not urgent.
