If it doesn't seem to bother him, you could monitor the area for a day or so and see how it changes. If the lesion persists or you notice any redness, swelling, or discharge than he should be examined by a vet to determine the cause. He may need an antibiotic, corticosteroid, or the lesion my need to be removed and biopsied.
