Good Morning. This looks like it may be a pustule from a skin infection called puppy pyoderma. If it is the only one I may wait a few days and see if it goes away on its own. However, if more start to form then he will need to be seen by your veterinarian for possible antibiotics therapy. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
