This could be localized skin infection. It would need to be confirmed by your veterinarian though. It may require no treatment, just topical treatment or a combination of topical and systemic treatment. Keep the area clean and dry. If she licks at it, place an e-collar (cone) on her. You can cleanse the area using diluted Betadine or chlorhexidine (Hibiclens) once or twice daily. Dry thoroughly afterwards. If it doesn't begin to resolve after 2-3 days, have her seen by your veterinarian.
