Our mini has the same problem.
Our vet said it was nothing to worry about- common in this breed.
It was simply dirt etc, getting trapped in the skin - becoming somewhat like a blackhead.
Our vet opened the bumps up with a syringe tip and a ball of mud came out. Our dog never even moved just stayed relaxed - obviously caused him no pain or concern.
The vet did let us know that they will come back and he has certain people that bring theirs in on a regular basis to have the bumps drained. Simple process. No big deal.

We have 2 mini schnauzers and on eof them gets these bumps. According to our vet it is normal for this to happen. He compared them to human acne, said it was just a skin condition and nothing to worry about. We were told to just leave them alone. They could be removed, but will come back over time.

We have a 6 yr. old schnauzer and has the same problem...vet sd. nothing to worry about as schnauzer seem to get these bumps....if they get too large and causes problems when grooming then they take them off. Hope this helps.

We have had several Schnauzers and it was faily common with both of them. We called them Schnauzer bumps... but I believe our vet thought it was dry skin and prescribed an oil for their diet. Ask your vet- I don't think it is anything serious.

may be comodone syndrome. Heredity skin condition.
Manageable but not curable. Ask your vet...
