Sick Tree - What is it and what should I do?

Could be mower blight, but appears to be Stage 2 Buttress Gangrene.
Char the affected area with a propane or oxyacetylene torch, then douse with Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon.
 
LOTS to do with infections! Rinse it with a hose, at least. Trim bark as Tom suggested. Nourish roots so they can speed CODIT, Compartmentalization of Damage in Trees. Mulch.

Then drink some wine as Pel advises--shmart guy!
