It could be that Alfie's anal sacs are impacted, causing him to lick that area a lot and make the small pink spot. I would have him checked out by a vet for this problem. The vet can diagnose what is causing it, and can treat him for it. If his anal sacs are impacted, the vet can express them. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Hi. It is hard to say without a picture or age and more specific history. It could range from a benign mass to a cancerous mass, to a skin tag, to an abscess of the analysis glands, and many more. He will need an exam.
