They can get blocked scent glands and also infected scent glands. If you gently squeeze it does any stuff come out? Try bathing the gland with some saline (1pt cooled boiled water and a teaspoon of salt and see if you can encourage draining. If it doesn't go down then he may need some antibiotics from the vets.
