Is this a disease/parasitic infection?

(Sorry for no pictures, my phone is being troublesome and not transferring any images. I'll post a pic when it cooperates)

My 10 Week old Gold-Laced Wyandotte has some troubling black bumps on her comb, and I was wondering if they were because of a disease.
She has multiple black bumps on her comb, and it actually looks a little deflated in the center.
She, and none of her (broodmates? Littermates? Hatchmates?) have laid any eggs yet, so her comb is actually quite pale, and she has been showing no symptoms of disease.
None of the other birds have this issue, and it doesn't seem to harm her, but I need to know: is this a disease or parasitic infection, or is it just some pecking issues?

She is my sisters favorite chicken, so if Sunny is sick I'll need to help her ASAP.

Thank you for helping, and I am sorry that there are no images for reference.
 
Hi! I know you mentioned your phone isn't cooperating, but pictures are going to be help us tell you. Otherwise, it's just a guess. Sometimes my internet is so slow and I have a lot of trouble uploading. In these instances, I just have to keep trying.

Edited to add: I must have posted at the same time as dawg53. They always offer knowledgeable and reliable information.
 
It could be pecking or perhaps fowl pox. Do you have alot of mosquitos where you live? They are the main vector for transmitting fowl pox.
We do have a fair few, since we live near the woods, so that does seem likely, but it's been a few days, and she got better, so I kinda doubt it. Also @HeatherKellyB , The pictures are coming. I've just been distracted, and I apologize.

Here's the picture. This was from about a week ago on the day of posting, and she looks a lot better. Her comb still looks deflated, but everything else seemed to clear up.
