I have no clue, but I guess for you, it's time for a vet visit.

Inside or outside dog? How often is he groomed? Can you post pics? Any behavior change? Change in eating habit? Constant scratching (like with fleas)?

When in doubt, have it vet checked. I've never heard someone say, "I shouldn't have gone to the vet." But I've heard way too many times, "If only I'd gone sooner."

Check again at 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, etc. If they grow or multiply, go to the vet. If they shrink you're probably safe as most skin pathologies go. If they don't change, you can give it a day - I definitely wouldn't wait longer with an unknown.

I absolutely agree with the other posters. Time for an immediate trip to your vet.
