Titus likely has a little inflammation in that spot or he may have a minor infection. I don't think it looks to worrisome right now. Don't pick at it and make sure he's not messing with it either. It may pop, in which case wash it with soap and water. You can apply a topical antibiotic and keep it clean. If it doubles in size or appears to be hurting him, take him into the vet. Please post again if you have any further questions.
