Thank you for submitting your question regarding Baz. It is difficult to say from your picture. He may have a small papule or pustule. I recommend bathing him with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula for puppies. If this does not resolve the bump or others develop, then he will need to see a veterinarian. I hope this information helps!
