I would post these on one of the nationwide boards in the fish disease section... more folks to see them. I have no idea.

it might be air trapped inside. has he puffed up recently? sometimes they cant ex-spell all the air. if the bumps are soft to the touch its might be trapped air

oh no not the puffer :(
Looks like maybe he injured it somehow. Maybe try some Melafix?

Fishy cancer/prolapse?

I know you've had him quite a while? Maybe some old age thing.

Depending what forums say may be worth penning him with egg crate into a corner to observe better and maybe even lift him into a small tank to handle and get a closer look.

I don't think we are a state with qualified fish vets unfortunately.
