Hi there, It looks like Panda may have either a bacterial skin infection or bites from a parasite. There is also a chance these a growths on his skin. I would recommend taking Panda to your vet for an exam. They can determine what exactly the bumps are and prescribe medications to clear them up. Best wishes to you and Panda. Thanks for using Pet Coach!
