What are the acne like bumps on the top of my Boxer's head?

What are the acne like bumps on the top of my Boxer's head? by TheCamerons I was petting my dog on the top of his head and I realized he had many acne like dots on his head.I was wondering what they were, and all of the things I got from searching we're fatal diseases.I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what they are.
They're small but there are more than a few.There is still hair on them, and they are just the darker shade of my Boxer's original hair color (brown).

Please and Thank You those who answer!

Answer by W.
Boxers are prone to dog acne due to allergy to plastic bowls sometimes.If the bumps are on top of the head though,I'd guess they may be fly or bug bites.

Answer by alias boxer
Boxers are prone to folliculitis -- which is basically acne. It's usually on their muzzle though, and can be treated by cleaning the area daily (especially after meals) with soap and water, keeping food dishes clean, and using stainless steel dishes (no plastics).

It's possible that they are symptoms of a skin allergy. Check this thread:

Couldn't help but notice you didn't get many responses....in the future I'm sure you would find this site more helpful.
