If she doesn't seem painful and is not licking excessively then you can monitor the spots. It could be localized infection. You can clean the areas daily with a gentle antibacterial soap and dry thoroughly afterwards. Monitor for resolution or spread. See your vet if the pimples do not resolve, spread, bleed or cause discomfort.
