Small Hairless Bump

[Cleve & Teddy]

Cleveland has a small hairless patch above his eye. Feeling it it feels like it could be a slight bump, but I'm not sure if thats just a bone in his skull or the spot itself. It's not completely hairless, it has some thinner hair on it. I was wondering if this is more likely something he got from one of his brothers scratching him or something or if this could be a medical issue. I posted a picture attached.

Please have it seen by a vet. That is a very sensitive location. We can only guess, but without seeing the piggy, it is impossible to make a diagnosis.

He will be seeing a vet as soon as he can they aren't open until Monday though so I was just hoping someone could give me some possible ideas to help me and my worried mind until then!

Just an update, Cleveland was seen by the vet and they did skin tests and found it isn't mites or anything parasite related. They said it looks to be just an abrasion from one of his brothers, but gave us some topical stuff to treat him with in case it is something fungal or the beginning of ringworm, but they don't think it is. We will see if it clears up in 1 to 2 weeks and if not we will take him back for a closer look!
