    Have you recently changed the brand or type of bedding you use?

    How old is the hamster?

    Unfortunately lumps and bumps in an older hamster are not a good sign. Accompanied with the rash though it could be environmental or even dietary.

    A lot of pet store wood shavings are actually not very good for rodents, I had trouble with the scented ones with my rats, make them sneeze constantly so I had to switch.

    Sounds like wet tail and needs to be treated by a vet.
