That looks like a possible pustule from the picture. In that location it could be a skin infection or possibly a tooth abscess. Of course a skin growth or tumor could be possibilities as well. I would definitely recommend that she be seen by a veterinarian. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
