Hi, thabks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It could be a pustule (bacterial infection). I don’t think I’d get too worried about one single pustule if he is otherwise fine (not scratching or licking). If he develops more he should see your vet. Puppy pyoderma on the belly isn’t uncommon. Have a good day!
