It may be small skin infection if he rubbed against something. If it is just the single spot, you can bathe him in mediated shampoo or dawn soap to help scrub the dry spots then apply neosporin afterwards to keep the skin soft and minimize flakes. If it spreads or does not improve in the next day or so then you will need to bring him to your vet
