Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It looks like Chowder has a skin infection. This is common in puppies due to their weak immune system. I recommend taking him to a vet for oral antibiotics. You can try bathing him in puppy shampoo and make sure he is fully dry, but oral antibiotics are needed to cure the pustules. Good luck and kisses to Chowder!
