I am sorry to hear about your concern for Davina. Without seeing her in person and putting our hands on the lesion it is difficult to tell. It could be a large pustule, a burn, scar tissue, a superficial tumor (some are benign meaning they don't spread or cause issues and can be left alone and others may be aggressive and require surgical removal). If the area is not getting smaller within a week I would recommend an examination in person at her veterinarian.
