My senior Yorkie has red bumps that pop and bleed. What could it be?

Question

My 13 yr old yorkie has had red bumps on his body before. One has popped and bled (is still there). He does not seem to be in pain, however they are reoccurring. Here is an image of the most recent bump on his body (near ribs). We know it may not be possible to fully diagnosis him, but could you let us know what you believe it to be and if it seems cancerous? Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | neutered | 13 years and 3 months old | 12 lbs

I am so sorry Coby is having this issue. Unfortunately, the picture never uploaded when you submitted this question. From the description is may be cysts that are growing and rupturing on Coby. The only way to tell if something is cancerous or exactly what it is, is an actual biopsy. My recommendation is if they keep coming up and popping I would see a veterinarian and potentially biopsy one or two of the locations to help you get an answer as to exactly what is going on.
