My pup (7 months old) has these little lumps on her back. You can't see it, and you can only feel it after minutes of searching. They are about a small pimple size, and the colour looks just like her other fleshy bits. Just protruding and a little flakey. She goes to the vet's often (so far once a month for vaccination and such), and she doesn't seem to be in pain when i touch the lumps. What is it? and what to do?

Could be an allergy to food or fleas. I would have the vet check it out.

Call your vet and let him know you think she has allergies and you want to see if benadryl will help the skin issues. He will give you the proper dose and if you take her in he should suggest benadryl before giving cortisone shots. I have one I can control most of the time with benadryl but once a year he needs a cortisone shot.
Once you get it cleared up be sure not to use anything but medicated shampoos. The vets office will have some or I would try this one with the cortisone to help heal the skin now.

What do u feed her ?Maybe your doggie is allergic .
I would change the food (after asking the vet what else it could be )and would make sure that i feed something for sensitive dogs .From my advice with food ..go for a premium food (nutro , canidae , Timberwolf , Solid Gold )
Or do the Raw diet ...

they could be bites or maybe a reaction to something. We had a boxer that scratched his skin raw enough to make his hair fall out in one spot on his neck because he was alergic to the nylon collar we put on him. Switched it to leather and never had a problem.

fleas, misquitos, contact dermatitis ( having a reaction to a cleaner on your floor, or bedding ) does she go swimming? her coat could be dry, ask the vet the next time you are there.
