This looks like a skin infection that is common in puppies. It is called puppy pyoderma. It looks a like a pretty large pustule. Since she is so young and small, I would have your vet take a look at it. Your vet will be able to get her started on some oral antibiotics if needed. I would not let her lick it. You can put a cone collar on her if needed. I hope this helps!
