Hi there. This lump can be anything from an abscess (infection), benign or malignant tumour. A malignant tumour is less likely since he is a young dog but still a possibility. If it is not painful, not getting any bigger and not causing him to be lame, you can keep an eye on it for a few weeks but I would advise a vet visit if it gets bigger, starts to bother him or bursts/ulcerates. There is a very common benign tumour in dogs that will disappear on it's own in 4-6 weeks, but without a biopsy it is not possible to tell you what exactly this lump is. Hope this helps.
