This does seem rather small in size and could very well be an insect bite. Since it isn't really bothering him, I would recommend monitoring this for now to see if this will spontaneously resolve If it is still present after 2 weeks or worsens at any time, then its best to get your vet to take a look at this on physical exam. A growth like this is either going to be a bug bite, cyst, or tumor. I hope that your pet Rocky resolves this skin lesion soon! Best of luck moving forward. Take care.
