If they are on his chin then there may not be anthing to worry about.But since we can not see your dog online it is alway best to have your Vet check them out.Some times they can get pimple like areas on their chin from eating out of plastic bowls.If that is how you are feeding your pup the stainless steel bowls or ceramic bowls are a better try.

Sometimes a mother dog will chew off the whiskers of her puppies so they don't wander off. Whiskers act like their navigation system.

As Pedro said, if the bumps are under the chin they are most likely acne due to either plastic bowls or adolescence. The acne should go away as your pup reaches adulthood, but if you're really concerned about it you can try switching to metal bowls. My pup's acne went away and she still uses plastic bowls, so it depends.

As for the bumps around the mouth, you should consult the vet about those because they could be a fungus. A topical anti-fungal prescription from the vet cleared up my dog's fungal bumps within a few days.

Good luck!
