I could be several things...trauma to the udder (if you're too rough or milking too high up on the udder instead of in the teat), could be mastitis. I'd just monitor her temp and behavior and gently milk her out twice a day and see if it clears up or gets worse. Make sure you're washing the udder before you milk and using a teat dip after you milk.
