Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This does look red and inflamed. It may be a insect bite or an infected hair follicle. I would recommend Oscar be seen by his veterinarian to have this evaluated further. He may need topical or oral antibiotics or other medications as needed. I hope this helps!
