Hi there

Does anyone knows what this is? It looks like an abscess and it has become bigger over time. Thank you!

That appears to be an ear infection or abscess. It can be bacterial, viral, fungal, or from mites. I would get some hydrogen peroxide, QTips, paper towel or tissue, and plain Triple Antibiotic Ointment to get to work on cleaning out the ear. Here is a good article and look for the post #4 by @dawg53 :
