I'm about 95% sure it's mange.

There's a mite called Demodex that burrows into the hair follicles of dogs. Take her to the vet, have them do a skin scraping (it'll look even worse after they do it since they have to scrape until they draw a little blood), they'll take a peek under the microscope, and if they see a little bug that looks like a cigar with legs, that's Demodex. Causes Demodectic Mange.

They'll give you something for it, maybe Ivermectin.

Let me know how it goes.
But now that you mention the bump...does it look sorta like a scab? How small are we talking here?
