Looks like that might be an infected hair follicle. It if doesn't seem to be bothering her, its reasonable to just leave it alone for a week or so; clean it with dilute Betadine (povidone iodine available at any pharmacy)- dilute it so it looks like tea and then use a cotton swab to clean it once a day. If its not improving after a week, I would recommend that you take her to the vet. It may need some antibiotics. Its also possible that its a mass of some kind (possibly cancerous) though that seems unlikely due to her young age. Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
