My boxer has little bumps on her head. Not bleeding or anything but they look like pimples. She also gets them on her belly. I am not sure if it is a skin problem or what. She doesnt have it all the time. She has no fleas and is up to date on all vaccines? Any suggestions at all

It is common the breed it is no big deal that is just how they are now if one keeps growing and growing get it checked out it could be malignant. I have raised the breed for quite I few years.

maybe your dogs has allergies, dogs get them too, mine sneazes a lot.
Try some giving him benadryl for a couple of days and he doesn’t get better than you’ll probably have to take him to the vet.
friend’s dog had the same thing and he gave him benadryl for it and he got way better.

There is a skin condition that is common in dogs, especially puppies, it’s due to tiny mites that all dogs have, but some dogs react differently to them, it’s called demadex mites. I would keep an eye on it, and if it gets worse take it to the vet, but if it remains the same just wait until your next visit to ask. They also make special shampoos for these mites that your doctor should sell fairly cheap. Usually with treatment as puppies their immunity becomes strong enough that the reaction to the mites disappears.

My Dalmatian has a few of these. They look kind of like beauty marks. They are called “skin tags” and they are harmless. But have your Vet check him out to make sure they are not cancerous.
1st hand experience.

When dogs have skin issues, there are many different things that could be the cause. There are bugs, allergies, poor food quality, mange, ringworm, skin infections, etc. The only person who can find out what it is and effectively treat it is your veterinarian. And no matter what anyone on here says, if skin problems are common to a certain breed it doesn’t mean that they are SUPPOSED to have them – the vet needs to check the dog out!
I work for a vet, and see dogs with skin issues every day. Take your dog to a vet.

PYODERMA. Needs antibiotics. Take the dog to the vet. Very easy to treat.

If they are on her chin, it could be puppy acne. This is common and will go away in time. If they get real bad or don’t go away, the vet can prescribe an antibiotic to get rid of them.
