I can't tell what those are from the photos. Is it possible they are ticks/tick bites? Skin infections, blocked pores or tumors are also possible. The only way to know with accuracy is to have Bella examined by her veterinarian. I recommend to get this done so that any needed treatments can be administered. Best of luck.
