Hello, it looks like that could be a small epithelial tumor. Most of the time those small tumors are benign and do not need removal. However, if it continues to grow or if she is bothering at it, then you should have your veterinarian evaluate this and likely remove it. Once removed, this should be sent to biopsy to confirm it is benign. Hope this helps and best of luck.
