It's difficult to say based on pictures along. Your second picture almost looks like a nipple, but I'm assuming this is not the case if more and more have been noted. Sometimes a bacterial skin infection can cause darker skin and a raised lesion, and skin infections can be common secondary to allergies. It's also possible that these are normal areas of pigmentation. I would recommend having your vet examine Luna's skin.
