I think you should have Bliss evaluated by your vet. This growth could be a tumor, a cyst, a lymph node or an abscess. Just by looking at it I would guess it is a tumor but it is difficult to say just by looking at a photo. She will need to be examined by your vet so you can get a diagnosis and then a treatment plan.
