My pup has some growths on his belly that his regular vet said are warts and to put Neosporin on them and they should go away on their own but I'm concerned that she might be wrong. They are about the size of a dime combined

Oh wow, those are funny looking! Without seeing Alex in person, I can't say what is causing them or what is needed to treat them. I can say that I have never recommended using Neosporin to get rid of warts, as warts are caused by a virus and Neosporin is an antibiotic medication. I would have him seen by another vet for a second opinion.
