Skin condition or injury? (with pics)

Hi everyone. I recently noticed a weird spot on my big guy Weasley & wanted to get some opinions from the veteran folks here. :)


It's just past his left shoulder, and it's like an almost-perfectly-round bald spot with a small scabby area at the top of it. It looks totally not-round here because I was pulling on his skin to move the fur. Earlier the scab looked dry, but he must have opened it somehow right before I took the picture because it looked a little bloody. It's shiny because I cleaned it and put a little Aquaphor on there.
Here's a slightly closer pic:



Anyway, he doesn't act like it hurts at all, and I haven't seen him bothering with it. We do have 3 other dogs (a male and female Chihuahua and a female Bostie), and Weasley and my little male Chi can get kind of rough during their playtime. Although the Chi is only about 2 pounds soaking wet, he seems to think that Weasley is a chew toy and often gnaws at him. I would chalk it up to just that, but the weird circular bald patch concerns me. =/
Have any of you seen anything like this? I'd appreciate any info you guys can provide. I'd just like to get some advice from other Bostie parents before I completely freak out about this. ^^;
