These look like little warts, that could be harmless. However I am a little worried that they have pigment around them and are not pink as they probably should be, I suggest you take Peluchin to a veterinarian and have the masses examined hands-on. Your vet may want to do a little biopsy taking one of those growths out and sending it in to determine whether they are benign or not. So, best schedule an appointment with your vet.
