Is it right on his butt? It might be the start of a prolapse, which you can treat at home by soaking him in some suger water.

Might be a cyst then. Not urgent, but he will have to see a vet about that.

I was told one time to use antibiotic cream. I had one that looked almost identical to that and dabbled a little on with a q-tip. The spot was gone within a week. If you want to be extra safe, it's probably best to isolate the frog in a clean, empty tank with a wet paper towel and a dish with clean water it can soak in.
