Hi, It is hard to know without photos what these bumps could be. You can submit a new question and try to upload photos to give us a better understanding of these bumps. But taking a guess, it could be bug bites if Mario has been spending time outside. Mosquitos even find their way in the home so they could be bug bites, in grown hairs, pimples or sebaceous cysts. All of these are of no great concern and should resolve within the next week or two. As long as Mario is acting normally and they are not irritating him, I would not be concerned. Good job staying vigilant and noticing these! -Dr. Gordon
