Hello and thank you for using Pet Coach! Unfortunately it is too difficult to determine what the small bump is with your photo and description. Bandit is a young dog so the good thing is that this is likely benign and nothing to be concerned about. It may be a cyst or benign inflammation from something puncturing that area. If you are at all concerned, I would have your veterinarian take a look at this as he / she can perform additional diagnostics to determine what it may be. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via phone or text based consultation.
