The picture is not clear enough to see exactly what is going on with Eli's skin. I would recommend a veterinarian because it may be a hotspot starting which can get drastically worse very quickly. I would recommend an ecollar if she continues to lick. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

I think it looks like an area of superficial skin infection similar to a hot spot. I’d recommend having your vet take a look in person - she may need oral antibiotics. You can put an e-collar or cone on to prevent licking until you can see your vet.
