Blackheads under pepper skin layer?

Hi there,

I over-wintered this Thai pepper by putting it at a corner section of the yard where the side of the the house was shielding it.

Today I noticed that there are some sort of "blackheads" barely underneath the pepper skin layer. I am guessing that some insects might have deposited their eggs(?) under the skin.

Anyone know what these black bumps are? There are a lot all over the branches of this plant. What should I do? Chuck it? What would you do? Luckily, this is the only plant that was affected as others next to it are fine.
