I don't know that much about dwarf hamster anatomy and can't see the lump so well on the photo - but if it's bald smooth and shiny it sounds like a lump = which could be a cyst or it could be an infected scent gland or it could be a bit of mastitis maybe. Either way it needs looking at by a vet for diagnosis. As it could need treatment. Draining for a cyst or antibiotics for a cyst or infection. Or a vet will be able to tell if it's a small tumour rather than a cyst. How old is she?
