Yes, it looks just like some sort of wound from an injury. I would not be overly worried about it at this stage. You can use this wound spray 3-4 times per day and if after a week or so it is not looking better then she should see your vet. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-plus-hot-spot-antimicrobial-gel-for-dogs
