That looks more like a mass or tumor than a rash. I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian first thing in the morning. She should wear an elizabethan collar until she is examined. keep the area clean and dry. She may need a biopsy to know if this is infection or cancer. Then you will get a better idea of your options. I hope Lala recovers quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
