My puppy has a bump near his penis. Is it a pimple or infection?

Question

My puppy has a bump next to his penis, it looks like a pimple that doesn’t come to a white head. Should I be worried? Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 26 days old | 20 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely a focal infection such as puppy pyoderma. You can try to use a medicated shampoo containing chlorhexidine twice weekly for 2 weeks. If there is no improvement or in the meantime this appears to be getting worse, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good day!
