I would recommend having your vet scrape it to rule out demodex. My pup had it and its treatable. But they need to scrap the area and look under microscope to tell. make an appt for him as soon as you can.

It looks like a pimple as well to me. I would not jump into getting him scrapped if this is the only place he appears to have hair loss. I've never seen Demodex look like a pimple on an upper eye area. He may have an ingrown hair. He could have gotten a bug bite, it looks slightly swollen to me. Wait it out and watch it for a few days. Maybe a warm epsom salt pack to see if you can get it to come to a head. Other then that just watch it.
So they both popped pretty easily and a little puss came out. The next day they were dried pretty good. Now today they look much better! Thanks for all the help. I will still tell the vet Monday about it.
