Not unless they grow larger, spread, itch or otherwise make Bear Bear uncomfortable. To identify them, he would need to be physically examined by your veterinarian. Skin scrapes can be done to check for mites, cultures can be done to check for fungal growth, a tape test can be done to check for other ectoparasites and bacterial infections.
