Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. It does not look infected to me, and it looks like it’s healing. I’d keep an eye on it for now. If you see swelling, warmth to the touch, extreme redness, and pus, have him seen by a vet. Should it not get better or gets bigger, also have him seen by a vet. Keep the area clean and dry. I hope this helps.
