My dog has a non-bleeding popped lump. Does she need a vet?

Question

This is on my dog, it’s like a hold, I don’t know if I need to take her into the vet right now. Not bleeding! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 45 lbs

There could be a few things that look like that. An infection that ruptured through the skin, a bite wound, a fly larva or a cyst that popped could all have this appearance. I would recommend to take Pepper into the vet within the next 24 hours to have an exam and likely antibiotics. Make sure to protect the area from Pepper licking it or scratching it as this will make it worse. Also make sure to clip the hair short and wash it with an antibacterial soap! I hope this helps!
