This started about 4 days ago, the bumps aren't hard, or itch

Looks like an irritation of some sort. Could be many things that caused it, new food, new litter, new detergent? it could also be allergies. Has it gotten worse over the 4 days? it couldn't hurt to have a vet visit, but I would first see if there was anything new in the picture.

Hopefully, it's minor and goes away. Sphynx are notorious for skin stuff. keep us updated.

We did the gradual switch but we stopped his old food all together last week, that might be it! Thank you for your time Kauna, I will try his old food to see if it improves his skin

Glad I could help! hopefully that will be the trick. I have an allergic girl so much so that I give her allergy serum injections. She has lots of allergies. Thankfully none to food (at least not that I can tell) hers are all environmental.

Some very good advice! Something I've not had to deal with thankfully (fingers crossed!)... The bumps @Breeze showed looks almost identical so I really hope swapping the food back will do the trick! Please let us know if it worked {}
