Thanks for using a Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be due to an allergy or mild infection. If it is not associated with an itch or eye discharge, it is ok to monitor for now as it will likely improve on its own. If no improvement is noted in the upcoming weeks or he develops an itch or eye discharge, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!
