I found this right by her pube. It has been 3 days but it hasn’t go away yet. It got a little darker green and less swollen than when i first saw it. Could it be just a zit and will go away afterwards?

This could be a sign of a skin infection called puppy pyoderma. It may go away on it's own, but if it's still there in the morning, I'd have Bean checked out by a vet since it's been there for three days already. Best of luck.
