Answer
Hard to say what this could be without being there. You should probably take her to a veterinarian down there because that is the only way to diagnose something like this.

It could be a bug bite, rodent ulcer, abscess from her own tooth even (we've seen them).

So the only way to know for sure is to have a vet look at it.

Sorry I can't be of more help...
