My schnauzer has had several solid masses removed over the last 6 years. They are hard and meaty and grow very quickly. They take one off and the next year or so another one pops up. They vary in sizes from large pea to small golf ball.

Blackheads by: Anonymous
My Schnauzer had two hard cystic like bumps under his skin - when he was groomed you could see them raised up.
After taking him to the vet - I was somewhat relieved and shocked to learn they were "blackheads". Your local vet can take care of this - or you can work it up - then use a syringe to open it up - it will be trapped with dirt.
The bumps will come back but they are no health issue to the dog and very common.
