She shouldn't have them, as she's on Stronghold (flea, tick, etc stuff,
like Frontline), but Meep's got these little bumps inside her ears -
mostly toward the tips - and a couple more of them, with bloody middles,
 where her hair is thin between her eyes and her ears.  She doesn't
seem to be particularly itchy, or sore when I touch them.

What could be biting her, and if the Stronghold's not enough to keep
them at bay, what could I be using?

She's mostly indoor, but with the warm weather, she's spending a good
bit of time outside in our garden here in England, and was exploring in
Scotland with us last week as well (posted about it earlier) - it's
possible she picked them up there...

I wonder if she is having a reaction to mosquitos or something. The above
has some pics, but as far as I know, there are many ways it can look when it
manifests.

Nope, nothing there looks like these bumps.  They mostly resemble
pimples.  I'll call the vet today, get some Stronghold, and ask what
these might be.
