That could be a bug bite or perhaps an inflamed or infected follicle. You should be fine to watch it for a few days and see if the body naturally resolves it. If it is getting worse at any point or is not better in 5-7 days, have Travis seen by his veterinarian. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
