What's this painless lump on my senior dog's neck under her ear?

Question

Hello, so my dog has had this thing on the right side of her neck underneath her ear for some time now and we have no idea what it is. We’ve been meaning to go to our local vet for it but we’re kind of tight on money right now. She’s twelve years old and hasn’t had anything like this in the past. So far, she hasn’t seemed to be in any pain; I haven’t even seen her scratch it at all but if it is something bad, we’d really like to know. Thank you.

I am very sorry but we can't really tell much from this photo. It may be just a hot spot. You can use some hydrogen peroxide diluted 1/2 and 1/2 with water and try to clean the crusts off it and, if possible, shave the hair from around it. After you do that if you could post again with new photos we may be able to help you better.
