Ouch! Looks like a wound from either hitting something, or too rough of play. If the third picture is the newest, it looks like it may be healing and scabbing over. I would keep an Elizabethan (cone) collar on Mickey to keep him from licking at the wound, and keep it clean and dry. If it begins to ooze, opens up again, or doesn't heal, having a vet take a look in person is best.
