Need Some Help

My burm has a bump on his skin. You can feel it underneath the skin. There is a small hole on area with some dry patch. It's tiny and you really have to look to spot it. He is active and seems in good health, his tounge is flickering and he is eating anything in site. He has never eaten anything but F/T or P/K so it couldn't be a bite. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

Could be a calcium deposit, or a small abcess, a burn, etc. My advice would be a check up with the vet.

Go to a vet, could be a fatty tomer? I dont no how to spell! Or it could be a hurnia from constipation!

I think I know what the problem is. I am keeping him in the biggest sweater box Sterilite makes. When I drilled venting holes I must have missed a few of the burrs the drill makes. The hole and bump are the same size as the holes with the burrs. I soaked him yesterday and buffed down all the holes and the areas around them smooth. I have treated him with betadine and neosporin. He is in shed now, I'll see how it looks after he sheds.

Just an update. He shed this morning and whatever that skin thing was it came off and he is looking good.
