Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 9 months and 17 days old
My dog has a bump just above right eye looks like one when you'd bump your head I let her out to play with other dogs so if it could go down that's maybe why it isn't is it something I should be worried about ? It hasn't gotten bigger and she doesn't like it to be touched like a bruised bump

Poor Athena! It could be an abscess, allergic reaction, or possibly a bruise. You could apply some ice to the area and see if it decreases in size. Otherwise, have your vet examine her to determine the cause. She might need an antibiotic, anti-histamine, and/or a corticosteroid to treat.
