What's this new bump on my dog's ear if it's not bothering her?

Question

I was checking my dogs ears and noticed a bump. I check her ears weekly and I didn’t notice it last week. She’s not acting strange either. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 8 months old | 42 lbs

Poor girl. This almost looks like an insect bite. Since it isn't bothering her, you can opt to just monitor this area for the next 1-2 weeks to see if it spontaneously regresses (resolves on its own). In the meantime you can clean the area with Betadine diluted 50:50 with warm water daily to keep it from getting infected. If the swelling does not reduce in size or causes any irritation at any point, then it should be looked at by your veterinarian. I hope that Kona's swelling resolves soon! Best wishes and take care.
