sandymere 8,260 Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Likely Histiocytoma or Sebaceous Adenoma if worried get vet to check. Quote Link to post
samuria 331 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 thanks but don't want to use the vet if it can be treated at home. Quote Link to post
samuria 331 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 just looked on google it seems more likely a sebaceous adenoma, just have to keep a eye on it. Quote Link to post

Aye a good possibility of a small "foreign body" in there as the vets would term it,as mentioned clean and gently squeeze the affected area Quote Link to post

Kalibrgun 927 Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Try some epsom salts on it when you've squeezed it or if your mr miyagi do the hot cup lol Quote Link to post
dogmandont 9,312 Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Can't be sure from the picture but looks like a hotspot, thick coated dogs can be prone to them especially this time of year when it's mild and wet, trim the hair back from round it and regular clean with warm salty water will sort it.
