This is uite common and s due to swelling of the tissue under hormonal influences. If it remains small and not exposed to trauma/drying out it should resolve as the heat ends; neutering is recommended as this is likely to get bigger with each heat cycle and makes both breeding and labor/delivery both difficult and risky
