A picture of it would be of great help to determine more specifically the underlying nature of it. Generally speaking though, we won’t be able to give a definitive answer, which would be possible only with a check at your local vet and more tests like fine needle aspiration or a biopsy. Differentials in this case would include mainly skin cysts, benign type of tumors and infections. Malignant tumors are very unlikely given her young age.
