Default Schnauzer bumps?

Sounds like something my Schnauzer has. Pus does not come out, but a semi hard little "pod"


"Schnauzer bumps" or schnauzer comedone syndrome, is a condition affecting schnauzers that produces pus filled bumps which are most often located on the Back of the dog. It is an inherited condition present throughout the dog's life and there is no cure. However, there are some things that have provided relief to dogs with this problem.

1. Use a dandruff shampoo, such as Selsun Blue, or one called SeboRx, available from your vet.
2. Keep your dog in a stripped coat or clipped very short.
3. Use vitamin E daily.
4. Bathe dog on a regular basis.
5. If allergy related, try changing food. Try avoiding foods containing "corn".
