The pictures are not very good quality and I can't tell if this is a flat, hairless lesion or if it is swollen. Dogs can get many types of skin lesions, from hot spots to cancerous growths. If it just appeared all of a sudden, I recommend to get Dozer examined by the veterinarian. It's always best to play it safe. Make sure to protect the area from any licking or scratching. He may need to wear an elizabethan collar. Best of luck.
