Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It’s hard to see exactly but if Moti is young and goes to dog parks and/or doggie daycare then the bumps are likely viral papillomas. They are contagious between dog to dog. They do resolve but can take a long time. He shouldn’t play with other dogs until they are gone. I usually recommend crushing them and I put the dog on 10 days of azithromyicin to speed up regression. I hope this helps!
