Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is a little difficult to say what the bumps may be without seeing a photo. These may be the result of a bacterial skin infection, mange, or be growths. I recommend having Bonita seen by a vet if these bumps do not resolve on their own in the next few days. You can also try using antibacterial wipes for dogs, which are available in most pet stores on the area to keep it clean. I hope this helps and that all is well with Bonita!

They may be benign growths or localized infection or inflammation. Zeus would need to be physically examined by your veterinarian to definitively diagnose what they are. In the meantime, place an e-collar (cone) on him if he is rubbing or pawing at it.
