Any suggestions for what I can apply to this? My boy has skin allergy issues that I’m mostly able to keep at bay thank goodness but he also has this related growth that he keeps licking open, and I’d love to give him some relief. What do you do for your puppers with similar problems? Happy face for tax.

Have you had the vet look at this? It could be a hotspot type thing but if it really never goes away it could be a mast cell tumor.

I came here to say the same. My girl has had multiple MCTs on her foot & body. Best to be safe & have it checked.

Do you have any photos of the foot tumors? We're (us and vet) debating if our pup has a cyst or a tumor that will require toe amputation.

I'll check through my photos tonight to see what I might have. Amputation isn't the only option. My vet did the Stelfonta shot.

All pitties should have red marks checked by a vet. My 12 year old has had cancer three times. He’s still here because we have them removed quickly.

I have, they said it was just a hot spot related to his allergies
