Why does my dog have white bumps on his inner thigh and underarm?

Question

Tigre has some white spots/bumps in his under arm and inner thigh. What are these? He seems to be acting normal and when we touched them it didn't seem like it hurt him. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 8 months and 29 days old | 55 lbs

This is probably an allergic reaction. first of all make sure you de-flea Tigre regularly every month with a high quality spot on (ex. Advantage) as fleas are by far the most common reason for these reactions. If the fleas are not the problem, it could be an allergic reaction to food or an environmental factor. this is more complicated to treat and will sometimes require medications such as Steroids, anti histamines or Apoquel in order to stop the allergy.
