skin bumps....? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Piper has some raised "pimple" type bumps on her back. She had them awhile ago.....the vet gave her an antibiotic and didn't really say what it was and didn't seem to think that it was too serious. They are basically just along the top of her back. They don't seem to bother her. Has anyone ever heard of this?

Do you have a photo?

no I don't have a photo, because her hair is too thick to get a good pic. They aren't discolored, though.

Uni had one on the top of her head, which we had removed during her spay. We had it biopsied and it was nothing. Then later I found another one on her elbow!

I have heard they could be follicular cysts, and usually are nothing. Keep an eye on them, if they get bigger or discolored then def need to be taken out and biopsied. I also found a blackhead (?) on Uni's inner thigh. I'm also monitoring that, but so far, nothing interesting. I just want all the weird bumps gone off my yorkie, and I am sure you feel the same!

Paris has several bumps but the vet says not to worry they look fine.
Keep an eye on them for any changes.
