Scar tissue on neck?

Aliandbuns

Mama Doe
I just noticed that Molly has a couple of lumpy areas on the back of her neck. It looks like she has white scar tissue in a couple of places but I have never noticed any cuts or lumps before so I have no idea how she would have got these. They are both about 3 mm in diameter.

She is fine in herself and I had a good look at the lumps and she didn't seem to be bothered by me poking around, which suggests they're not painful to her.

She is fine in herself, eating well and running about.

Any ideas what these lumps might be (she hasn't had any recent injections).

Thanks
 
Has she had any long courses of injections in the past?

Charlie has lots of lumps and bald scared bits from when he had EC several months ago. They didn't appear until a while after he'd been having the injections and the vet said they could take months to go.

The lumps may never go - he has them from previous issues like when we used to have to 'fill him up' with saline to flush his kidneys out as he has calcium problems. This was 6 years ago but the lumps are still there.

The injection site wounds are slowly going, he had 4, one is now covered in fur, one is starting to darken so fur will be showing soon and the other two are still dry flakey bald patches. The vet said it could take many many months.
