Thanks for using PetCoach. It appears that she may have a hotspot. Keep the area clean and dry. You can use mild anti septic shampoo to wash the area and dry well. If it gets bigger, is painful or isn’t getting better I recommend a vet visit as she may need antibiotics or other medications. Here’s a bit more info. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952981
