Puppies can often get a puppy pyoderma or a type of skin infection on their bellies from being so low to the ground and rubbing in all sorts of things. If it is only a small pimple like lesion you can just try bathing with an antibacterial medicated shampoo. If she gets more lesions or is licking or scratching she should see a vet as she may need systemic medication.
