Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely a site of infection or an abscess. I highly recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. If an infection is confirmed, antibiotics and local cleaning would be recommended. Good luck and have a great day!
