My dog has skin bumps, one irregular and bled when picked. What is it?

Question

Hi, my dog has had smooth little bumps on her back legs and bottom for years, they haven’t grown, or anything like that. Recently, I found an irregular little bump on her back, and when I let her, I accidentally took a chunk of it off with my nail. I didn’t see anything come out of it, other than a little blood from me tearing a piece of skin off I’m assuming. She doesn’t itch at any of them, and they have a normal color reddish color to them. Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Female | spayed | 8 years and 10 months old | 30 lbs

The little bumps on Delta's could be many things. It may be a skin tag, wart or sebaceous growth. There's always a possibly of something more serious. I would recommend to have Delta checked by her doctor to get a better idea of what the masses are. Tonight, wash the area you accidentally picked with an antibacterial soap. Keep it clean and dry and make sure Delta does not chew on it. I hope this helps!
