Hello!

about three weeks ago my fiancé was brought a tiny tabby kitten (possibly only a few days old) that was found abandoned.
We've been caring for Alfy ever since and, apart from a minor eye infection that has since been treated, he was a healthy little boy.
Now we noticed that he his developing what sems to be a dark-ish bump on his right leg (see picture) and are worried it could be a wart virus.
The sitter who is helping us (as we're both working full time) said we should keep an eye on it for now, but maybe somebody else has made a similar experience?
He also seems to be developing what according to the internet could be Stud Tail, so we'll need to keep an eye on that and possibly buy respective shampoos to treat it.

If you made it this far down than thank you, it's been a hell of a ride so far but we really want to do all we can to give Alfy the chance at life that he deserves.

Thank you for taking this baby. I feel he is to young for stud tail - that usually happens once they are sexually mature. I would have a ringworm culture done. Don't freak out over ringworm - it is not a worm, just a fungus similar to athletes foot and easily treated in a one cat home.
The vet can also look at the lump. I can't see that well enough to even attempt to tell what it is.
