Spayed dog has skin growths near nipples. Should I be worried?

Question

Hello, we just spayed our 3 year old mixed german sheperd/golden retriever 10 days ago. After the vet shaved her abdomen we noticed these skin growth next to her 5th nipples. The vet told us not to worry, but what are these pls? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 1 month old

Sometimes you can see these masses that are almost like extra, under developed teats. I recommend to as your vet if they think that's what these are. Now that you know about the masses, monitor them closely for any changes, benign lesions will stay the same and not change. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
