Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I wouldn't get too worried about it if it is the only spot. It could be from a scab or tick that fell off or a site of trauma (bumped or rubbed his head). I would leave it be and keep an eye on it. If it gets bigger or doesn't resolve in 2-4 weeks I'd have your Vet take a look, Have a good weekend!
