Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The bumps present on Sobek do look like insect or ant bites. If Sobek is chewing/licking then you should get an e-collar to stop any self-trauma, as well as a visit to the vet to get possible pain meds or an anti-histamine. Be very careful with human anti-histamines as many contain other human products that are very toxic to dogs. Best of luck with Sobek!
