Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 11 months old | 50 lbs
My dog has these bumps on the inside of her ears, there not red or anything and they don't bother her when I rub her ears or even touch them. Was thinking maybe acne but they aren't really red and don't seem to bother her. Any suggestions?

The bumps on Lilly's ears could be insect bites from fleas or mosquitoes. Since they aren't red and don't seem to be bothering her, other allergies or skin infections are less likely. Make sure she is receiving a high quality flea and tick preventative (such as Nexgard, Bravecto or Advantix) once a month. If mosquitoes are a concern, Advantix claims to repel mosquitoes unlike the other products. Closely monitor her ears for changes and if this condition persists or worsens, take her to the vet for an exam.
