You can try using this Vetericyn Hot Spray on the affected area. If after a week of using it, the lesion is not looking better your vet should check him. You will also need to get him a cone collar to stop him from licking it. As long as he licks it, it will not heal. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-plus-hot-spot-antimicrobial-gel-for-dogs https://www.amazon.com/s?k=elizabethan+collar+for+cats&crid=2Q0YY66ZKLO7W&sprefix=elizabethan+%2Caps%2C624&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_3_12
