Hi, I cannot be sure what the red bump is. If he has it on both sides of his face, it is where his whiskers are coming in. It is in the right location for that. I would keep an eye on him for more bumps showing up, or if they get bigger. Dogs can get acne too, so it may be just a pimple. I would wait a few days to see if it goes away or gets worse. If it does, you could clean it with a betadine solution a few times a day to see if that brings it down. Good luck, I hope this helps!
