Skin issue: red bump and licking/biting

[tontiangel]

Hello! Toadie-One has this red bump on his back. It appeared then faded but came back again today. The only other thing I note is he seems to occasionally lick and chew on his lil back thighs , legs and feet - almost in an annoyed way. But unsure if that’s just normal grooming! Figured I’d include that info. I did reach out to vet with photo and info - just wanna hear from Sphynx family too. He has unscented paper pellet litter, same food (introduced wet a month or so ago), and no new detergent. Trying to think of any new variables but can’t think of an outside source if it’s an allergy. Do vets have allergy tests?

Thanks!

Hmmm I am a bit baffled by this one if it is the same area and spot. Glad it is not spreading. Wondering if an infected follicle?

Have you tried this product? It is great for many skin issues.

 

[tontiangel]

yes was wondering since he has a bunch of lil fur hairs on back and it seems so focused on one area! thank you!!!

@tontiangel , I like the vetericyn spray too. it is non toxic. agree wondering if a little follicular hair clog irritation.

sharing, you can ask your vet about Trizultra w/keto.

I I spray on cotton pads and dab area. you could also try using on rear leg wipe downs.
my vet got me hooked on trizultra almost 20 yrs ago to clean ears. It is dual purpose as a skin flush. I use it on swisspers to do weekly wipe downs. I dab it on any skin irritations nicks/scrapes. I have been using the trizultra on my nakids for almost a decade.

does Toadie One wear clothing?

oh nice i recall tonti had that for ears! he does not he did a couple of times wear a shirt but it’s warm inside and he would wear it if we venture outside - although i’m waiting for warmer weather for that. when he did wear the shirt i made sure to wash it first - when he wears shirts in future i can monitor too to see if that makes anything act up.

thank you all!!!

morning thank you - the red bump went away as he emerged from his nap that day…weird! then i could see it very faintly next day. now it’s gone or just hard to see. maybe hair follicle?

@tontiangel , agree could be a little hair follicle with is lil hairs in that area. is he regular grooming, not excessive?

Could it be a flea bite?
