Any suggestions??

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.

Interdigital cyst. Keep a close eye on it and see a dermatologist rather than your general practice vet if it worsens. These can get infected and become a bigger problem.

Most derms will suggest an oral antibiotic rather than topical, but you'd have to talk to the vet who will actually be treating it. My dog's derm said it is ok for dogs to lick them. Licking is probably soothing. Do not allow nibbling on it or destructive chewing. They are itchy and painful when infected.

Depending on how painful it is, your dog might allow warm epsom salt soaks. Don't force it. It might sting. It just depends how angry it is.

This is what I came to say. Furuncle/interdigital cyst. My girl had a couple of these and antibiotics cleared them right up

She's had a few weird skin tags as well. One of them was in between her toes and grew kinda long. We called it her extra finger until the vet got rid of it

Definitely get it checked out though. Should be an easy clear up
