Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is very hard to say based on the pictures alone. If he will let you I would try clipping the hair with clippers (not scissors or a razor) and clean the area with mild soap and water. If there is no open wound or any discharge you can continue to monitor the area. If it's open, oozing, or doesn't heal in 2 days, I would recommend seeing a vet for antibiotics. Also make sure he is eating, drinking, and not lethargic. Good luck and kisses to Charcole!
