Puppy has a bald patch, bump, and is scratching her cheek. What is it?

Question

Hi, my pup has recently got a tiny bald patch on her cheek with a bump (skin colour) just by where she lost a whisker and scabbed over a little, she has been scratching at it a little but it doesn't look red. I have been advised to bathe it in salt water and apply sudocream for now and see how it goes by the breeder. Please see the attached pictures, would you know what it could be? Thank you, Carmen.

Hi Carmen, It just looks like a minor skin abrasion. It seems to be healing OK. Just continue as you have been treating it. If it doesn't completely resolve or begins to look worse then have your vet check it out.
