A bump can be many different things - an abscess from a bite or scratch, a reaction to an insect bite, a growth, etc. It may be helpful to post another question to the forum and attach a good picture if you can. If it does seem to be bothering her if you touch it, I would recommend getting it looked at by a veterinarian. They may do a test called a fine needle aspirate to determine what it is and then come up with a treatment plan based on that.
