If they came up suddenly, they may be some kind of insect bite or an allergic reaction. Since he is so young, it's also possible that it is a condition called puppy pyoderma, which is roughly euivalent to acne in people. If this is the case it usually will clear up on its own, but since his look pretty widesprad, I would get him checked by your vet to make sure he doesn't need medication to speed his healing.
