Boxers are very prone to skin and other forms of cancer. While this looks well defined I recommend a veterinary exam and possibly a biopsy to see if it’s cancer. They can remove the bump and check her eyes and the other skin mass at the same time. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Diamond.
