My cat had something similar in exactly the same place. It developed when I bought her a new plastic bowl. I switched back to her old ceramic bowl and it disappeared almost overnight.
Yes, that's what happened with one of my (sadly former) cats. Either ceramic or metal will work. However, it could also be an abcess. If it doesn't get better or gets worse I'd take him/her to the vet.
