I am not sure either without seeing at least a photo of the bumps in question, but some possibilities are: an allergic skin reaction, masses (benign or malignant), or a bacterial infection. You should get your vet to look at the areas if they seem to be persistent (still there after a week or so) or if they seem to bother Jane (pawing at the face). You can also place a thin layer of Neosporin on it every 12 hrs for the first week to see if this helps resolve it. If not then a vet visit is needed for further treatment and also to determine the underlying cause.
