Why does my dog have sudden lumps and raised fur? Is it an allergy?

Question

My staffordshire bull terrier has just had an outbreak of lumps all over his body which I have no idea what it is. He was just lay down on my bed and i went to stroke him and noticed lumps all over his back, legs and on his head. We've had him for about 4 years now and it hasn't ever happened before. The fur is raised where the lumps are present as you can see in the picture. Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 3 years and 9 months old | 30 lbs

This is most likely a sudden allergic reaction to something and should resolve within 12-24hours. If he becomes distressed or uncomfortable, contact your vet for medications to help - they may also prescribe antihistamines to have at home should it happen again also!
