Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! These are probably pustules which are usually focal infection sites. this is not completely uncommon in puppies. You can try to use a medicated shampoo containing chlorhexidine to bathe Hugo twice weekly which may resolve this issue. Otherwise, if they are small and not numerous, they could improve on their own. If no improvement, have him evaluated by your veterinarian. Good luck!
