The image is very blurry. The bump could be an impacted or abscessing ansl gland. Have her seen by your veterinarian. If necessary, the anal glands can be expressed (emptied). If there is an abscess, it will need to be lanced and drained. Antibiotics and pain medication will likely be dispensed afterwards.
