It looks a bit like scar tissue. If pumpkin had a wound or local skin infection this could be the result. If you use a topical flea preventative she may have had a reaction. If you see any other spots in her body or under her belly, I would have her checked out by a vet. I don’t think it is related to the vomiting. There are many possible causes. But I would discuss it with your vet. Intestinal parasites and food sensitivity would be the most common cause.
