Default Strange Bump on Max's Back

As if this dog needs any more issues! Poor thing.

About 3 days ago i noticed a roundish bump on Max's back. I decided to wait it out a few days before rushing to the vet since we were just at the vet last week for rabies shots (and about 4 other times during the last 4 weeks for other issues). The past day or so the bump flattened. It's so difficult to see but I took the best photo possible. I'm not sure if it's hollow in the middle or if it just feels scabby. He's very irritated by it. I put some witch hazel on it as well as hydrocortisone which seems to help him.

Tonight I was looking for more bumps and I found another very small one. It looks very similar but is more roundish and definitely not hollow. I put the same meds on it. He's wearing a Puppy Bumper now as to not lick the areas and it seems to be working. He's eating, drinking, playing and acting very normal. It's not a movable bump so it's not related to the rabies shot. He was also just groomed so I was thinking hair follicle issue, however there are now 2 bumps so that's probably not the case.

Yesterday I made an appointment for Monday. He's going for a recheck to the eye specialist next week but I don't want to wait that long.

I suppose I'm just venting. Nobody can diagnose it based on this info. I'm just sad for him because he's just not catching a break. At least his eye looks great.
