Yeah, Scottie has those things on his neck too...on a bad day, he would have bumps all over the body

I still haven't found out what is causing the bumps though. Tried elimination diet, but it wasn't the food. I think it COULD be ticks coz he only gets those bumps after we've caught quite a bit amount of ticks on him and did the bayticol 'treatment' on him. The only thing that I tried which helped was a cream called
K9 Klear Up After using it for a week or so, the bumps will subside

But on and off, it will come back...

I'm not too worried though coz he's still active and eating good and all that...he doesn't really scratch that much too, just that I don't like the look of the bumps on him. So, I keep the cream handy.

Yeah, I tried eliminating the diet factor too. Bought a few dog friendly sprays to clear the bacterias in my place too. I first started around the neck area, backside, now it goes to the chest part, and some on the legs too. He doesn't seem unhealthy. Just that I am not comfortable with those pimples staying on him.
I tried to look for pictures on the internet, but all the pictures are too severe to be compared to him. His are actually, like our human pimples. He did scratch sometimes.
By the way, where did you buy the Cream? I am currently using
Johnson's Tea Tree Skin Calm. Just started. Hopefully it will help.
I am not 100% sure if it is because of the ticks, as we never find any ticks, nor fleas. Because he had a tick treatment last 3 weeks, and before that, I was not with him, so I am not sure if there were ticks on him. Other than what my friend had told me, I could not find any information from the internet, regarding after ticks treatment, there will be pimples like these.
Another possibility is we had not groom him for 2 months now. We are planning to groom him once we received our clippers. Should have received the clippers yesterday, but did not because of the delivering company.

my MS have those bumps too.. but i use cotton to clear the blood, then apply some woundsarex on it.. it works..
Mine does not seems to have any blood, but there are white substances, like human pimples. Tried to remove them, but it seems like dry skins. Wanted to send him to the vet, but there are no nearby vet around me.
