Is that the grease gland, at the base of the spine, or is that actually her bum and lady bits which is much further forward on the tummy side? The grease gland is much further back, where the tail would be... if that is her bum and lady bits, I would say that needs a vet check, there looks to be some discharge... difficult to tell from the photo but anything unusual is always worth a vet check.
Its definitely not the anus or her lady bits it’s on skin just above her anus like 2/ 3mm above
