There is a leak from the inside liner, past the sidewall cords, which is building up under the outer layer of rubber. It was not that big all at once, and has grown to its current size and you should expect it to get bigger. The outer layer of rubber is separating from the sidewall cords.
I have seen sidewall blowouts where the sidewall cords open up like a peeled banana. I don't think that anyone would suggest ignoring the problem.
With only one season of wear on the tire, replacing one tire would be good, if you can find the same tire. Note load rating on old tires when getting replacements.
Where did you get the original tires?
