Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Judging from the pictures, it appear that Butta has a small pimple like mass on the muzzle. This could be a pimple, insect bite or viral papilloma. I would recommend keeping a close eye on this and if it worsens, I would take him in to be examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
