There are also a few tiny bumps in the material that appear to have formed from the inside out - like a pimple.

This is a concerning statement to me.  I have seen this with red, brown, and black lacquer on a wood body.  I suspect it is caused by an exposure of the lacquer piece to a wide range of temperature changes when there is a moisture content differential between the wood body and the lacquer coating.
