  It looks like an insect bite or an allergic reaction, just monitor it once a day, i would expect it to resolve within no longer than a week. if after a week you see no improvement take her to your vet to get it checked.

  Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be a benign or malignant growth. This could also be a bug bite or site of infection. This is often differentiated by a test called a fine needle aspirate (FNA) which is a pain free, inexpensive and easy procedure which in most cases will help reach a diagnosis. Sometimes a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. I am really hoping for something benign. You can try using a thin film of triple antibiotic in case it is truly just an infection or bug bite. Good luck and have a good day!

  Please repost your question with a picture of the suspected bite. Chances are it isn’t a bite and may be a ruptured anal gland, a hot spot or even a skin mass. A picture would help to kind of narrow things down. We look forward to your repost. Or it may be best to have this examined and treated by your local vet, especially if it hasn’t improved on its own within 4-7 days. Take care.
