I just noticed a red bump on my 4 month old puppy closed to his penis area on a side. It looks like a boil. Doesn’t seem to be painful and doesn’t bother him. Should I be worried and what is it?

It appears to be a small hair follicle infection. I don't think you need to be worried. I just suggest you apply this three times daily. If no improvement in about 7 days, then he should see your vet for an exam. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/zymox-spray-with-5-hydrocortisone
