Skin lumps

Cysts, warts, tumors, abscesses Skin cysts are hard and raised, and warts often appear in older dogs. Warts are pink, speckled, hard at the root, and sometimes pigmented. Melanoma is a pigmented malignant tumor that occurs frequently in Boxer dogs. Those slow-growing, soft-touch, bumpy egg-shaped lumps that appear in older dogs are usually benign fatty tumors.

Coat loss

Corn ringworm, external parasites, hormonal imbalance, scleroderma. Localized coat loss is caused by diseases or causes such as bacterial or fungal infection, or by parasitic mites. Some dogs, such as Collies, sometimes have partial hair loss on their noses due to sunburn. Generalized, symmetrical hair loss is often caused by thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, ovarian or hormonal imbalances. Elbow hair loss in large dogs is caused by scleroderma caused by the dog lying on hard ground for a long time and excessive pressure on the skin.

Excessive skin licking

Dermatitis, anal gland obstruction, ectoparasites Dogs like to lick their skin with their tongues to clean wounds or remove dirt from their fur. But frequent licking of your skin, especially your front paws, is a serious condition. It may be a psychology.

Itchy skin

External parasites, allergies, itchy skin, internal diseases If your dog scratches or bites itself, it may indicate inflammation. Fleas are mostly the source of itching. Sometimes itching in dogs is caused by an allergic reaction caused by inhaling pollen or dust. Sometimes it may also be caused by contact with certain shampoos and plants, or the skin may be irritated by foreign matter just after being trimmed. Kidney disease and liver disease in your dog can cause itchy skin.

Skin inflammation

Allergies, sunburn, foreign object irritation, abscesses, skin inflammation Skin allergies, sunburn or other small objects falling on the skin, such as Grass seeds that happen to get stuck between the toes can cause inflammation or suppuration in dogs. After suffering from dermatitis (pyoderma), the affected area turns red and oozes some secretions (acute dermatitis). Sometimes bacteria that multiply in the folds of a dog's skin can cause dermatitis. Puppies often suffer from eczema. For example, Pekingese dogs may have entire facial swelling. Severe skin inflammation, such as cellulitis, causes redness, swelling and stinging in the affected area.
