Skin Problems Small scab on back.

Could this be a "war wound" from scrapping with his brother, or something more serious like mites?
Is it worth taking him to the vet? My Dad says to just leave him for a week and see if it gets better, but I'm a worrier.

Opinions?

It's in an area that could be a self-inflicted wound from biting at mites, or could be a bite from his brother. Have they been fighting? Have you noticed any other scratching?

Have you ever treated them for mites before? You may want to, just in case. It won't hurt to treat them even if the wound isn't from mites.
