It is difficult to say for sure what this is just from the picture and without seeing it in person. This could be a mass, a scratch/scab, tooth root abscess, or even an abscess. Since it is new, I would have your vet take a look at him to see what is the cause so that he can be started on the proper treatment plan to help him feel better. I hope this helps!
