a weird bump on one cheek - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yesterday during combing Pepper I noticed a small bump on his right cheek, right next to where one of his whiskers comes out. It's very small, kind of like tiny mosquito bump, hard and covered with hair. The skin looks normal around there, I didn't see it bother him or make him itch. He has a vet's apt by the end of the week but I was just wondering what that could be?

Is it maybe a bug bite?

maybe its an ingrown whisker?

hmmm... I have no clue to be honest. it hasn't been there longer than 2 days or so. I'm going to have the vet look at it, the last thing I should do is starting to pick on it....

My pup had a bump like that on his forehead it swelled up then it just went away after 10 minute or so.

Basil has one right where her whiskers are. I never really thought anything of it since it's been there a while and it doesn't bother her and it's quite little. Let me know what your vet says.
