My 3-month-old Pitbull puppy has itchy skin and white bumps. Why?

Question

Hello, my blue nose pitbull puppy is a male and three months old. I have noticed he has multiple growths that are white or flesh colored. He also seems to be very itchy. I do not know if these two issues are related but I was wondering if anybody had some insight in common skin issues with pitbulls or on what could be happening. Thank you!

Pitbulls are known for having allergy issues but I have not seen them show up in one quite so young. Without a photo it is hard for me to comment too much as to what may be going on. At 3-1/2 months old he will be due for vaccines again soon so I suggest you just monitor and bring this up at the next vet exam. In the meantime I would use this shampoo on him to see if you can relieve some of the itch. https://www.walmart.com/ip/SynergyLabs-Veterinary-Formula-Clinical-Care-Hot-Spot-amp-Itch-Relief-Medicated-Shampoo-for-Dogs-and-Cats-16-fl-oz/244249833 Hope this helps.
