My dog has small bumps on his skin for weeks. Should I see a vet?

Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Pinscher | Male | neutered | 24 lbs
My 3 year old miniature pinscher has begun getting these small bumbs along the sides of his stomach, throat and neck/head. I begun noticing this right after a big hairless bumb appeared on his back (gone now). He has been having these for about 2 weeks now but hasn't really been scratching or showing signs of discomfort.I taken him 2 baths with shampoo for inflammation but it didn't help. I was wondering if i should take him to the vet now or wait for it to go away on its own. Thank you!

I can see small bumps right under the hair on Prince. These can be an allergic reaction, or hives. This can be caused by a number of conditions such as fleas, environmental or food allergies, or a reaction to something in her environment. I recommend having Prince seen by his vet to definitively determine what is going on and begin the appropriate treatment if necessary. I hope this helps!
