Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 3 days old | 9.5 lbs
Hi, my puppy has small, hard white bumps on his head. He’s had them since I got him. Two vets have looked and said they are nothing to worry about. But I didnt get answer to exactly what they are and how to treat them if possible. The hair sticks up around some of the bumps. He is a French Bulldog.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I suspect these may be local skin infections or infection of hair follicle. These kind of problems happen to some puppies and they often go away once the puppy gets older. You could try and use antibiotic cream or ointment on the skin for 7-10 days - it will likely help. However, the skin problem may come back a few weeks later.
