Hi, thanks for using Petcoach! Poor Catfish (great name!) There could be a couple of things that are causing multiple bumps under the skin. Pit bulls have sensitive skin so it could be a skin infection or even hives from an allergic reaction. You can try Benadryl 25mg tablets 2 every 8 hours and a medicated shampoo. But if things get worse or the bumps don't resolve I recommend seeing your Vet. He may need steroids or an antibiotic. Below is a link of a shampoo I like. Bathe 2-3 times per week and leave the lather on for 10 mins on the affected areas before rinsing. Hope this helps and good luck! https://www.chewy.com/dog/dp/110817?utm_source=google-product
