My 10 week old male Goldendoodle developed this soft scabbed lump under\beside his nipple. Is this anything I should worry about? Is there something I should do to treat this? Thanks!

It's hard to know the cause of that lesion. It could be an infected hair, and abrasion or the beginning of something else. You may monitor it for the next 2 weeks. It may resolve on it's own. Keep it clean, dry and protected from licking. You may ask his vet about it since Max is in the middle of his vaccine series and is being examined frequently. I hope this helps.
