Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! These are not growths, these are actually ticks. The reason they are growing is because they are filling up with blood. These should be removed. This is something your veterinarian should be able to do for you very easily. A good flea and tick preventative to consider to try to prevent this is Frontline plus. Good luck and have a good day!
