My 4 month old black lab-mix puppy has a bunch of bumpy lumps in one of her outer ear flaps. is does not appear to be painful, is not itchy, crusty or have any color.. it is inside the skin.
She is feisty, happy and has a good appetite and no problems with bowel movements.
Is this something I should be worried about?

I am sorry for the late response to your question. Bumps and lumps are common to occur in dogs. Small bumps called papules or large bumps called nodules can develop in the skin. These lumps can be felt under or within the skin. The causes could be from something simple as an allergic reaction, or to a more serious disease such as skin cancer. If the lump is growing fast, painful or warm to touch, bleeding, shape is irregular and is well attached to the skin, it should be evaluated by a vet the soonest possible time.Take care and good luck.
