Wart like bump on my dogs nose, what is It? He is a 10 mo American bulldog, very healthy. What started about a month ago as a small beauty mark is now a pea shaped growth on his face between his nose and upper lip. The growth does not seem to bother the dog when i inspect it. It seemed to burst yesterday and bleed a small amount, only a few drops. Any info would be appreciated
It may be a sebacious or other type of cyst. The best thing to do, if it is growing, is have your vet take a look at it and possibly remove it before its starts to bother him, bleed more or refill up.
Good Luck!

Online advice is hard, especially skin related things. At 10 months he is hitting puberty and they have acne issues like all other teenage boys. It is termed folliculitis and furunculitis depending on how deep it is (like cystic acne vs. pimples). You can clean the area and actually apply a light benzoyl peroxide cream (acne cream from pharmacy). These lesion tend to come up on the chin and jaw line. A wart wouldn't burst...a cyst will. The goal is usually to keep it clean. Good luck, Dr.V
