Should I be worry about this paint bubble?

Hi fit forum. I have a question for my 2012 fit. I have found a small paint bubble or something, very small. Will this bubble grow bigger? Should i fix it immediately? How much you think this will cost? Its on my hood. Oh I live in upstate new york. Thank you.

Such is life in upstate NY, where they spread millions of tons of salt on the roads every winter.

A paint "bubble" usually means moisture or corrosion has started under the paint. This means rust has begun to spread under the paint, either from a neglected paint chip, or perforation caused by rust-through from the other side of the panel.

yah,i would remove the bubble with a toothpick or something, sand the metal below, and just touch it up.

rust grows like cancer... u should take care of it now before it spreads under your paint.
