Hi and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This looks like it could be a bug bite, tick bite or some other bite. I would monitor the area and if it gets bigger, becomes irritating to Jax or if it has any discharge or worsening swelling, I would take him in to see a veterinarian. If he starts to bother it, I would recommend putting an Elizabethan collar on him to make sure he does not lick or irritate it more.
