A picture would be very helpful in this instance but you could be describing a ruptured sebaceous cyst. This is benign but can get infected. Clean the area with warm water and keep Layla from licking it. If it is not improving in 3 days, or worsening at any time, it’s time to see the vet. Best of luck to your friend and to Layla!
