This is a question for a vet. Unless you want to have a nasty infection on your hands. And I hope to god that this sore is not the result of you crating a dog for hours on end. Dogs are meant to roam for hours a day, not sit in cages so that our pretty things don't get slobbered on. Sorry if this has nothing to do with you. But really, you need a vet. Until you can get an appointment, get aloe vera gel or just an aloe plant, break a shoot off it, and rub the gel on the wound. Vitamin E is good as well.

I agree with the answer above. The mark could be a callous from when your dog is getting itself off of the floor. This is most pronounced in older dogs and dogs that are overweight. You might make sure that your dog has a nice cushy bed to lay down on. When it is getting up from napping it will have something soft to push off of instead of the floor.

I have an English Mastiff and he has those kind of callouses on his "elbows". The vet told me that I could make little doggie leg pads so that he wouldn't get those ugly callouses, but my dog had other thoughts about that.

If you do notice that the area is getting swollen or is filled with pus, you need to take him to the vet in case it is an infection.

Also, if you notice that your dog is lethargic or not acting like himself, it is time to take a trip to the vet.
