Hello. This could be as simple as a small wound that scarred over. It could also be a little patch of infection or something more serious. I would monitor it for now. If she is scratching at it, or if it is growing or has any discharge then have her into the vet. Otherwise monitor and it should heal up in about 5 days. Good luck with her!
