    Hi there

    This is what I would do: shave the area around it to get a better look, but don’t pierce it—I’d just put some antiseptic on it. It’s a tried and tested method, but be careful:

    • it’s a sensitive area

    • the spot is full of pus

    It’s impossible to give you proper help over a forum.

    Hi,

    It’s hard to tell exactly what it is just from a photo.

    A small pinkish lump like this could be down to several things: a bit of inflammation, a cyst, a local reaction, or even a skin tumour, which could be benign or not.

    How long ago did you notice this little bump? Has it grown or changed in appearance since it first appeared?

    I’d recommend having it checked by a vet, especially if it appeared recently, is getting bigger, changing in appearance, bleeding, or seems to be bothering your dog. In the meantime, avoid touching it or putting any products on it.

    Maëlla
