Pinkish red spots on Pup's Ears?

I noticed not to long ago that my pup has some red bumps on his ears...At first it was only one on one ear, now there is about 4 on that same ear and 2-3 on the other ear...They look kinda like a bug bite bump..but, a little dry...I am not sure what it is but, I was thinking of a bug bite at first...Now I think it might be a rash, like an allergic reaction to something...He is 10 weeks now, and I was hoping to take him in to have the vet look at it when he is 12 weeks when he gets his next shots because I am tight on money...It that too long to wait? And what could it be?

Update:

Oh...I just thought of something...Could it be a food allergy? He was eating Purina Pro Plan for puppies (that is what the breeder was feeding him, and I was too since they gave me a small bag of it), and I didn't notice anything on his ears...but, I switched his food to Innova for puppies...And I think that is when they started...(not sure tho) Now he won't eat it...My adult Chihuahua is eating the Innova Evo, and my pup loves it..So I just started giving him that yesterday...But the bumps were already there...And yes, He can have the Evo...The back of the bag even says so along with a chart that has his age, weight and how much I should feed him...

Update 2:

No, it's not a pimple like bump, and not ear mites...The bumps are on the end of his ears..They are nowhere close to the inside...

Update 3:

Trac...First off...I have the money to own a dog...I just kinda over-spent on something recently, and now I am trying to get caught back up...And like I said...If I have to take him to the vet now...I will ...

    Obviously don't let us diagnose your dog. But my Chihuahua has very similar sounding bumps on his ears. If it's like my dog it almost looks like reddish, dry, rash looking. I took my dog to the vet and he said it was okay and to just put either a little vasaline or hotspot oil on it. The hotspot oil is a yellow oil you can buy at just about any retailer like walmart in the pet section. I thought maybe it was food allergy too, but it doesn't seem to bother him and it comes and goes. My dog is an inside dog also, so we determined it was not from insects. My dogs rahy thing is also at the tips of both his ears. He's had it on and off for over a year and he is regularly checked up and then some by the vet.

    i'm getting them from drainage that is going deeper into the ear. till they are warm or painful to touch, the lymph nodes are purely doing what they are meant to be doing. loss of interest sometimes contributes yet i'm no longer able to think of a 2 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous that remains nevertheless for any length of time. If he's torpid or in any different case no longer seeming to be healthful for a protracted quantity of time, then evaluate following up on that. I would desire to upload that I certainly have greater issues at specific situations of the three hundred and sixty 5 days and that i'm questioning it quite is a a hazard sensitivity to mould that motives greater drainage.

    It is more like a pimple like bump. It will generally go away, just make sure you clean it daily & powder it.

    Quite common among puppies as they are growing up..just like when we are young, we have pimples.

    Don't worry much........ if not, bring your doggy to a vet will do. Guessing does not solve your curiosity ..... : )

    ear mites.......clean his ears real well and wipe the spots down with rubbing alcohol.

    If that doesn't take care of it take him to a vet for Rx.
