These look like an acute allergic reaction to something she has come in contact with or insect bites and would be expected to resolve uneventfully. Monitor for any distress or breathing difficulties but these are very rare

Yes, they look a bit strange from the photos. I think you should have your vet check them out. Could be an allergic reaction to something or an infection (bacterial, yeast, fungus) or even just an injury. Best to have a vet check it in person.
