My dog has lumps on his nose bridge, but isn't bothered. What is it?

Question

I noticed today that the bridge of my dogs nose is covered in lumps. What could this be? He isn't acting weird and doesn't seem bothered by it, but I'm pretty concerned. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 7 months and 19 days old | 80 lbs

Since there are a few lumps all in a row, my best guess as to what that would be is some sort of irritating from something that he stuck his nose into. It could also be a series of insect bites that are now deciding to swell up. Without examining, palpating, and possible aspirating the affected areas it is really impossible to say with certainly, but with that would definitely be my best guess based on the photos. If areas seem like they are hard, or very warm to the touch, they should definitely be examined by a veterinarian for other possibilities. Some of these would include some sort of bony abnormalities or the beginnings of an abscess, though it would be a very strange location. Hope this helps!
