Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine this so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. She may need a small bandage along with an oral antibiotic and a topical ointment. If not treated this could become infected. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
