My 7-week-old puppy has an odd bump. Could it be puppy pyoderma?

Hi, I just noticed an odd looking bump on my 7 week old husky puppy. Can anyone identify this for me please? Thanks so much.

It is difficult to say for sure with just a picture but it looks like a pustule. This is common in puppies and is called puppy pyoderma. It will usually heal on its in it occasionally they will get more of them and will need oral antibiotics. Watch it closely and make sure it isn't getting bigger and make sure more aren't coming up. Also make sure she is eating, drinking and playing normally.
