My Maltese Dog 9 Yrs old Female has a growth on her head?

Question by Marie: My Maltese Dog 9 Yrs old Female has a growth on her head?
My Maltese Female Dog "Darla" has a growth by the top of her ear
It is approx. 4.5mm and it grew straight up
I am keeping an eye on it, it doesn't appear to be growing , but I cannot be certain...

I took a picture of it, and used it as MY PHOTO

I am worried sick because our other Maltese "Delila" just died at the Vet's office.
SHE WAS ONLY 4 YRS OLD!!!!!!
We are sure it was from giving HER TOO MUCH ANESTHESIA
