He's a boy, OK

Boys also have nipples!!

What about your partner / husband !

No need to apologise. We are all here to learn. Now you know something you didn't know before

I agree but with the caveat that we can't see exactly where it is in relation to the rest of your dog's body - a wider photo would help. And can anybody else add to the mention of it crusting - that would be a slight concern for me.

I have seen crusty nipples before now. I thought, at the time, it was just worth keeping an eye on for any signs of inflammation etc. This is not, however, a veterinary opinion and any concerns should be addressed to your vet.

If it's a nipple, it looks like he may have caught it on something, hence the crusting.  In humans, wearing a harsh material jumper with nothing underneath will have the same effect (been there, done that!).
