Answer
Hello John, This area can be sensitive to flea acne.  These would be clear or reddish pimple like bumps.  Look all over the dog for fleas and if you see them then this is what you are seeing with the bumps, flea acne.  What can you do, well treat your dog right away with either advantage or frontline, these are products sold by vets and at petmeds.com to get rid of fleas.  You can then follow up with a medicated bath to give his skin some relief.  Good luck and Thanks for asking.  Cindy Lou :)
