Why does my puppy have small brown bumps and spots on his belly?

Question

My 15 week old corgi has recently had the emergency of three small brown bumps, none of which seem to irritate him. He also appears within the last day or so to have had a bump appear on his belly. Is this normal or should we seek attention. Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Male | 3 months and 19 days old | 16 lbs

Skin lesions like these can be caused by bacterial, parasitic or fungal infection, dietary or environmental allergies or sensitivities, immune system disorders, or a combination of the above. Sometimes puppies like Palmer can get a type of “puppy acne” along the belly as well. If the lesions do not start to go away in the next week, or if they start getting worse, I recommend making an appointment to have Palmer seen by your veterinarian to help determine the cause of the bumps you’ve noticed and to make sure they are treated appropriately. The vet will likely want to look at a sample from the area under the microscope to determine if there is an infection and to figure out what medication is appropriate for treatment.
