Hello! I found this bump on my dogs groin area. She lets me touch it and doesn't react when I tried to clean the area with some warm water. Any idea what it is? Should we have our vet look at her?

It could be a small insect bite or minor skin infection, the rest of her skin looks pretty normal. Keep an eye on it, keep it clean with a warm damp washcloth and rub in a small amount of triple antibiotic ointment without steroid, as steroids slow healing. If it doesn't improve significantly in a few days, gets worse, spreads, or if she starts feeling sick or itching, get her an appointment with her vet.
