It ooks like an old abrasion that is healing. Monitor for licking or chewing. Use an e-collar (cone) to prevent chewing if necessary. Exercise or play or hard, rough or hot surfaces may have caused it. Monitor for continued resolution and lameness. If it doesn't heal or she becomes lame, then see your veterinarian.
