My Bernese Mountain Dog had a lump in her inner leg, up near her elbow/armpit area. It moved easily, was attached to the skin and was a little hard and about the size of a penny.

I kept checking it, making sure it didn't get bigger. One day I checked it and I felt a small crusty scab on top of it, and it was smaller. I checked it today and there was still a scab around it and it had drastically reduced in size. It was about half the size of a dime.

Was it just a burst abcess? And should I clean it or just leave it alone?

Surely you would have seen a burst abcess ......I wouldn't take a chance if you aren't sure . A scab could still be holding in more pus . Can't help without more info . Vet .
