Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. I recommend bathing him with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula. This can help soothe the skin and relieve itching. If this does not resolve the issue, then he will need to see his veterinarian. I hope this information helps!

It looks like he could have a skin infection or allergic dermatitis. You could bathe him with a medicated dog shampoo and see if that helps. Otherwise, have your vet take a look at him to treat. He may need an antibiotic and/or anti-inflammatory to treat.

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.

They could be hives. Commonly insect stings or spider bites can cause a hypersensitivity reaction that can cause hives and sometimes gastrointestinal problems as well. I see that you posted this 15 min or so ago- if he isn’t starting to improve or if you see any facial swelling then I would encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon.
