Poor Smokey! Those look pretty red and inflamed, so I'd recommend bringing him to a vet to have it examined. Infections on the skin itself, an abscess (infection under the skin), cysts, tumors, parasites and more may all be possible causes, so having it looked at, especially if it's growing in size or bothersome, is best.
