My dog has new skin bumps that appeared overnight. What are they?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Bully | Male | unneutered

These seem to have popped up overnight. I did not notice these until 2 days ago. Any idea of what this may be?

I would guess that this is a dry pyoderma, or bacterial skin infection. Ringworm and fungal infections could look similar. I would recommend having King examined by your veterinarian. They would probably recommend starting oral and topical medications to help it resolve, and you can also discuss looking for an underlying cause.
