This presentation could be due to a trauma or localized spot of skin infection (likely to be caused by bacteria or fungal). A check up, appropriate disinfection and antibiotics or antifungal meds are absolutely needed to solve the problem. Disinfection can be possibly started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths, but a check up is necessary. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid any licking.
