This actually looks like a mammary tumor (breast cancer). Very common in female dogs that have not been spayed. You need to take her to a vet for an exam as soon as you can to have that checked. You may want to take this article to your vet to show them. ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/mammary-cancer-in-dogs/ )
