Default Yorkshire Terrier with Spots?

My 7 year old Yorkie has a few (what appear to be like) spots around her
neck, and one on the bridge of her nose. When I part the hair to look they
look like white lumps with black marks in them (sorry to be gross, but a bit
like a black head on a spot).

Are they simply spots or are they likely to be something else? There is no
evidence of flea's on her (and she very rarely comes into contact with other
animals).

Many thanks to those who reply,

Carl.

Could be a fungus of some sort. I'd take your dog to the vet and get a
skin scrapping. Cheap enough way to find out for sure what it is.
