The black raised area could be a tumor, but all the other little ulcerative areas look like she might have a skin infection. I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian soon. They may recommend removal of the black mass for biopsy. She may need antibiotics as well. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
