Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. This could be an infected sore or something malignant. I wou ld recommend having a vet examine this to know for sure as it is difficult to say from the pictures. This may need a course of topical and oral antibiotics which your vet can prescribe. If you are unable to get to a vet right awsy, you can try using zymox topical ointment and see if this helps. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
