What you are doing is good.
Just clean it with salty, luke warm water several times a day.
The salt will help both dry it out as well as disinfect it.

What does the wound look like?
Do you think she has hurt herself or is it more and an actual lump?

Does she run in her wheel a lot?

What kind of wheel is it? Does it look like this?

We had this happen often when we had a metal wheel. The hamster runs and gets it's paw stuck in the wheel.

I recommend plastic wheels like this;

Keep doing what you're doing. Watch for infection.
