My dog has small skin lumps. Is it dermatitis? Should I be worried?

These lumps are not typical of a flea allergy dermatitis. That typically is just a superficial rash with itching, hair loss, scabs, etc. These lumps are concerning. Your pet may have developed abscesses which are deeper infections that form pockets of pus or infectious fluid. This is worth a trip to the vet for a recheck. I do not feel that it is a life threatening emergency, but it should be addressed by your veterinarian as soon as regular business hours resume. Your pet may need prescription antibiotics, the lumps may need to be aspirated or checked with a needle and if they are full of pus, they should be drained. Please have your vet recheck him as soon as possible,

I am sorry that Aspen has developed a bump or lump on her skin. Thank you for providing pictures. From the pictures you have sent the "bump" appears to be a skin growth. There are several types off masses that can grow in the skin of dogs such as cysts, lipomas, and even cancers. Some are benign and some are malignant, so careful observation is important, as well as having a vet examine it if you are concerned. Since you only noticed the lump recently, I would continue to monitor it for growth, ulceration, changes in texture or color. Measure the mass with a ruler so you can compare its growth in a couple weeks time. Rapidly growing masses are more concerning. You can also try applying a cool compress and cleaning with warm salt water once daily if it needs it. If you notice any changes or rapid growth either take Aspen in for a vet appointment or post another question here on the forum. I hope that this answer was helpful and more importantly that Aspen feels better soon. Warmest regards to you both.

This looks like a little skin wart which are usually nothing to worry about. It doesn't look red or infected at the moment. It could be that she has an underlying skin allergy that is causing the itching. If you are worried you should take her to the vet for an examination. Alternatively you could try giving her a daily antihistamine to see if that settles the itch.

This is very tiny and probably nothing but i can't tell you what it is at this point and without testing it. monitor it over several weeks, if it continues growing take him to the vet in order to get it checked.

Hi there and thank you for using our consultation service. I really appreciate your providing us with pictures. The good news is that those bumps or lumps are not an emergency situation right now. as long as your dog is eating and drinking completely normal, I would just simply alert the owner of the dog of these bumps. tell them that this could be possible dermatitis or growths that need to be checked by better near in as soon as they have time. I would urge them to not wait longer than one week after the owner gets home to take them to the vet for a complete dermatological examination. Thanks a lot for your question. I hope I have given you some help.

These look like an acute allergic reaction to something she has come in contact with or insect bites and would be expected to resolve uneventfully. Monitor for any distress or breathing difficulties but these are very rare

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely a reaction to something in the environment causing mild dermatitis. I would continue to monitor it for the next 48 hours. If it does not improve or it worsens, have Jules evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. If it is just mild local irritation, it is expected to resolve relatively quickly. Good luck and have a great day!
