Bulldog has wierd skin under his chin

Question
Hi...I just noticed this morning that Dozer has this wierd feeling something on his neck, under his chin.   It doesn't seem to hurt him, it feels almost like a calous under his hair.  I know that when we are playing or being affectionate, I often grab him there (it's very loose skin), which is probably why I noticed it this morning.   Have I done something to hurt him or is this a common Bully thing????   it's just weird....It doesn't feel like an absess, though, I suppose it could be, he has a couple of dog buddies that he plays with and he might have gotten bitten.

Answer
It could be a sebacious(sp) cyst. If it's about the size of a dime, that's a could bet. Generally these will dry up and fall off by themselves. Sometimes they need to be removed if they are causing the dog any discomfort. These are benign.

I suggest taking the dog to the vet just to rule out anything "weird".
