Is this a tumor?

So my apistogramma cacatuoides recently developed a "bump" on his chin. 

Does anyone know what that is? Do I have to worry about it? 

Sorry about the bad quality of the photos. He is very shy 

 

PS: I noticed a few days ago, but I don't know if it took days or weeks to develop it

I'm sorry to hear about your fish! I can't tell from the pictures if it's a bump or a skin tag, but Cory just gave a great answer on the latest live stream about fish cysts/tumors that might be useful to you (the link should skip you to the 1:22:42 mark):

Thanks for the info! 

It looks like the skin started growing more than it should've, and it it's not white, so I'm not sure it's the same disease Cory talked about in the live 

As a matter of fact, I'm not sure it's a disease at all. I've honestly never seen anything like that in 15 years of (on and off) fishkeeping
