it looks infected with the discharge in the middle. It may have been a bite wound or puncture from a foreign body. The body is trying to heal it by itself but it may not be able to if there is an infection present. Keep the area clean with soap and water and you can apply neosporin to help i would get it checked by a vet to make sure there were no deeper injuries and to get the infection better under control so it can heal properly
