Funny patch on skin - help!

Whilst checking Tilly over tonight I found this (sorry for size, but I didn't want to lose the detail)

It seems to be a patch of dry skin with what looks like a puncture mark in the middle, slighty smaller than a 5p piece in size. In case you can't tell from the picture, it's on the left of her neck, under her ear.

Does anyone have any idea what it may be as I'm clueless! Thanks!
 
I did wonder that but I was with her when she had them both done and I don't remember them doing them round there, but I could be wrong. It's a month since she had the last vaccine.
 
Hiya.
She's probably scratched her neck with a nail on her back foot whilst having an itch!!
Check her back nails are not too long/sharp and check her ears and coat for mites. You can put a bit of sudocrem or Tea Tree Ointment on the dry skin. As long as it is not pusy or weepy it should heal up just fine!!

Thats exactly what snowflake had on her ear!!!!!
It then became an infection in which the dead bit of ear fell off..!!! keep it clean and go to the vets... they will give you some antibiotics... and dont put anything on it except water.
It maybe just a scratch with a nail or something or got it caught on something.
 
Looks just like a scab from an injection, they seem to delay appearing too. That's the normal place for them. Sometimes they put myxi part in the ear too :)
