I have noticed these bumps on my puppy’s chin and was wondering what they are from, if it is anything that we should be concerned about and if so, what could we use to treat this. Thank you.

It looks like a mild dermatitis. If it's getting worse or seems to be bothering Archie (rubbing face on carpet, etc), then I would recommend a vet visit to get a prescription for a medicated wipe. If you just noticed it and it doesn't worsen or bother him, just keep an eye on it. Enjoy your cute pup!
