Hello, we heard our dog yelp from the other room and then noticed this spot above his eye. Any idea what it could be caused from or how to treat?

It looks like he has got the eyelid caught in something given the sudden yelp, inflammstion and hair loss. Alternatively it may be a lump but if it has suddenly appeared this is less likely. I would advise having it checked by the vet to rule out anything serious given the proximity to his eye. He will benefit from an antinflammatory even if it is a simple wound as it looks sire and swollen.
