Bruno could have a bacterial skin infection of that site. You should keep it clean and dry and prevent him from scratching or rubbing at the area. If it does not improve with just cleaning it and drying it or it gets worse Bruno needs to be seen by vegetarian as he would likely need prescription antibiotics.
