My female dog licked a drained pimple on her private area. What is it?

Question

What is this on my female dog’s genital area? It looks sort of like a zit or pimple. She has been licking the area frequently. The photo was taken last night, it now appears to have drained and is just a reddish dot. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 8 months old | 30 lbs

If it was draining it was possible it is an abscess (infection) or cyst/blister. I would keep Ellie from licking it as that can cause secondary infection and further irritation. Once she has stopped licking it, I would then keep the area clean and dry and if the spot remains, worsens, or changes in appearance, have it looked at by a vet in person right away.
