Bump on my little Puppies *Male Part* - Photos Included of *Male puppy part*
Hello everyone, Just got home from work and noticed he had a Little bump on his Male part right at the tip of it. It looks like its going to pop and i have no idea what this is.
Has anyone experienced this before?
All the vets are close at this time at night and i tried cleaning it with Dog Wipes and it kind of annoyed him.
It looks like a pimple but as you can tell i'm not a dog specialist and do not know what is the cause nor the cure for this.
Any insight would be wonderful.
Photos included - I Apologize for the horrible quality as it was done on a phone.

It looks like an Ant Bite.
Wash the bites with antibacterial soap 2X daily.
Apply betadine with a cotton ball to disinfect bites and prevent infection. (Don't use Hydrogen peroxide)
Apply an anti-itch spray or cream containing hydrocortisone and leave the wound uncovered.
Apply cold compresses (refrigerated wet towel) as needed to reduce swelling and itch.
Get well soon!

This was a very informative article, thanks Sam!
So far we've been lucky, considering fire ants are quite prevelant at times here in Naples, Fl. So it's good to know what to do if either of my furkids end up in the midst of an ant hill!

Thanks Sam,
I was worried but i believe it is a bug bite. It does not seem to be getting worse either. So i will treat it with antibacterial soap as suggested.

it's actually what's called puppy acne. Most puppies get it. It will go away on it's own.

Ant Bite - Notice white center and no define pattern
Puppy (Canine Acne) - usually occur around the lip / chin, almost occur exclusively in short hair breed only and not a single "bite" pattern
Impetigo - usually with a honey color crust, pattern and mainly occur in poor living condition.

If it's still there Gizmo had something like it and all it was was an ingrown hair.

*Status Update* It is gone, it appears to have popped while i was out, now its just a flat spot of healing skin. I took some puppy wipes and clean it regularly now to make sure it stay clean and disinfected.
