Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is difficult to know what this may be without an examination. However, this may be a hot spot which is a severe focal infection. In this case, this has to be treated with antibiotics and steroids and warrants a veterinary evaluation for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!
