This spot on Snowball could be from an injury, or it could be due to allergies, fleas, or a ringworm lesion. I would have him seen by a vet for this. The vet can examine the spot, and do blood tests, use a flea comb, and a Wood's lamp to diagnose what caused the spot. Once the cause of the spot is diagnosed, the vet can prescribe an appropriate treatment.
