It sounds like you're describing lumps or masses under your dog's skin, which can be caused by a variety of things, such as benign fatty tumors (lipomas), cysts, or other types of growths. While many of these lumps are harmless, it's important to keep an eye on them for any changes in size, shape, or texture.

At home, there are a few things you can do to monitor your dog's condition:

Firstly, keep a close watch on the lumps. If you notice that they grow rapidly, become painful, or change in appearance, it would be wise to have them checked by a veterinarian.

Additionally, observe your dog for any other symptoms. Look for signs of discomfort, such as your dog licking or biting at the area, or any changes in behavior or appetite.

It's also beneficial to ensure your dog is on a balanced diet, as this can support overall health and potentially help with skin conditions.

Regular grooming is another important aspect. Keep the area clean and check regularly for any changes.

Since these lumps have been present for a while and don't seem to be causing immediate distress, you might continue to monitor them. However, if you notice any changes or if you're concerned, it would be a good idea to have a veterinarian examine them to rule out any serious conditions.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
