I cannot help you discovering how it got there unfortunately, it could be a trauma to the head, a fight wound, an infection or a self inflicted wound. keep an eye on it in the next few days, you can put an antiseptic cream on it twice a day if you want, if it seems to be getting worse- take him to the vet in order to get it checked and treated.
