Found this on one of two male pigs. Doesn’t seem to be bothering him, still tucking into his food and going about his buisness.

Any ideas on what it is? Nothing anywhere else on him.

Thanks in advance

Do your pigs ever fight? Could be they had a little scrap. Could also be from scratching. Do you notice them scratching a lot? They may need some medicine to get rid of lice/mites. Keep your eye on it to see whether it heals and goes away (battle scar) or whether it lingers or gets worse (bugs). Hope it gets better soon.
 
They have scrapped when we first got them. There was a little blood spilt but have been fine since. They are now lovers rather than fighters it seems
Haven’t noticed them scratching.
Thanks for your advice. Will keep and eye on them
