Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! From the pictures and seeing that Maya is 3 months old, I would suspect that this is from a bug bite or something poked her in that area causing a raised bump. This could become infected so I would keep an eye on this. If after 3-5 days it does not resolve or it worsens, I would recommend taking her in to be seen by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps!
