First off - welcome and your puppy is adorable. Unfortunately, I've had a LOT of experience with allergies in my dog and yes, the black spots are a probably a sign of that. The benadryl will likely help, but you might also want to bathe him more frequently during this time. Once or twice a week, won't hurt. Use a hypoallergenic shampoo and see if that helps.
Are the black dots on the tummy the only sign you see? If you start to see the skin turn red or crusty, you'll want to make a trip into the vet for a better check.
