Poor Ozzie! Since the area is changing without any obvious cause, I recommend to have him checked by his veterinarian. It’s unusual for a quiet lesion to suddenly flare up. It’s possible this is coincidental however and your veterinarian may be suspicious of something like fleas or allergies. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
