Poor guy. You can try some Betadine diluted 50:50 with warm water for a few days to see if this area dries up and starts to heal. I wouldn't place any topical Neosporin but perhaps a "hot spot" spray from your local pet store can help it heal well. If it doesn't seem to be improving within 2-3 days, then its best to take him to your vet for a prescription of antibiotics. I hope that this works! Best wishes with Zeus and I hope that his skin heals up soon1 Take care.
