Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Clyde! That is a very odd lesion! How old is Clyde? How long has the lesion been there and is Clyde rubbing it? I am thinking it is either ringworm, vasculitis, an immune condition, a tumor or trauma. I recommend having Clyde examined by your Vet. They can hopefully help discern which of those possibilities it could be and provide treatment. I hope this helps and I wish Clyde a speedy recovery!
