Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! From the picture, it looks similar to a wart which can be common in younger animals and puppies. Often times, these will not pose a problem and will regress on their own. I would keep an eye on it and if it starts getting larger or changing in shape or color in any way, please have your veterinarian take a closer look. I hope this helps and best wishes to you and Oswin!
