QuestionHi Kim,
2 Year old Toy poodle came home from the groomer yesterday and I see a bump above her right eye. It's not discoloured, it's her skin colour (not dark, brown or red), about 1/4"around, smooth, not flaky. She doesn't seem to be scratching it and it didn't seem to bother her when I rubbed my finger over it. Doesn't seem to have a head or pore on it. It's about a 1/4" above the inner corner of her eye, on her forehead close to her muzzle.
Preliminary research on the net didn't reveal any similar conditions or photos.
She was last groomed 2 months ago and I did not see it then.
Will try to get her in to see a Vet / Skin Specialist but would appreciate your feedback.
Thanks
Kathryn
AnswerHello Kathryn,
Is it possible to send me a picture of it. There are many things it could be. It could be an ingrown hair, a smooth bump that can be slightly red or it can be normal skin colored. It could be a pimple type bump that hasn't formed a head yet, or it could be a tumor bump. Does it feel fluid filled or is it hard.
My first guess would be an ingrown hair, but I would go ahead and take her to the Vet just to be sure.
If you want to send me a picture, my e-mail addy is MsTopkdog@yahoo.com
I hope this helps you some. If you have other questions about this or other Poodle questions in general, please feel free to ask me.
Thanks for using AllExperts.com,
