Red Lump on JRT's leg!

Question:

I know that you aren't vets, but my female JRT has had a small red bump on her left upper leg and she tends to bite at it which irritates it. My Vet gave me a tube of Tritop to numb the area. He thought possible a tick may have bitten her (it wasn't a tick cause I've never seen one on her and ticks normally burrow in and stay on the dog) but it was most likely small red ants that are in my front yard in the grass where I bring her. Have you ever had any experience with this problem? Thanks for having such a great website and all of you have a Happy New Year!
