What could this be?!

Hey guys, I'm in need of some help!
My pup Kahlua has been getting these dark specs on his fur... the areas are red and irritated but they don't seem to itch... since he doesn't seem to be scratching at them. One spot is under his chin (where it's always wet, he's a SUPER sloppy drinker and water tends to collect there), and he has spots spreading to his back and some on his belly. They don't seem to be hotspots since he's gotten a few hotspots and I know what they look like... I'm not sure what they are. I googled it and they seem very similar to flea poop... but he's not scratching himself. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm planning on taking him to the vet, but trying to see if anyone else has dealt with this. Below are some pictures of what his skin looks like.
Any input would be awesome! Thank you!!
