Is it normal for puppy dermatitis spots to turn white after treatment?

Pictures can be deceiving but the areas do not appear raised or thickened from inflammation, if they are indeed as flat and smooth as the surrounding skin i would not be concerned but would monitor for any further increase in size or number, regular photos can help to monitor. sk your vet to check sat your next wellness or vaccine appointment but depigmented spots are quite common and innocent

Those spots look like normal healing after a mild skin infection or irritation. I would continue to just keep an eye on it. If the spots seem to be multiplying, turn much darker, or turn red, then you may want to have Benito rechecked by your vet. They should continue to get lighter and go away over the next week or two.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. This could be a skin infection (bacterial or fungal). I would recommend using a shampoo such as PS Douxo Chlorhexidine combination shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. The above shampoo can be found online. If the areas worsen or persist, I would recheck with the veterinarian for further testing and treatment options.

Thanks for the image. That could be an area of trauma or irritation. It may also be some localized infection (bacterial or fungal) or maybe a papillomatous growth (wart). If he is licking or chewing at the area, place an e-collar (cone) on him and schedule an exam with your veterinarian. If the spot is not bothering him and he is behaving normally otherwise, you can choose to monitor it at home for rapid change or growth, bleeding, discharge or discomfort. Should any of these symptoms develop, an exam with your veterinarian would be required to definitively diagnose the underlying cause. Any treatment will depend on the diagnosis.

Hi, Siobhan. It's possible that this spot could be a part of "puppy pyoderma." Many puppies will get little pustules on their skin as they are growing. It is isn't a concern unless it causes irritation (characterized by itching or licking) or it doesn't appear to heal. If it isn't looking better in a few days, i would take Enzo to the vet for evaluation.

These lesions may be in the healing process. Keep an eye on them for a few days, if they aren't getting better or seem to be spreading, have Curtis re-examined by the vet. He may need a biopsy to figure out what the active process is.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Gola. The dark spots on his belly appear to be normal pigment changes. This is common in white haired dogs. There will be multiple darker spots on the belly. The spots can grow, change and fade as the dog ages. They are flat with the skin, there is no redness and they do not bother the dog. If this seems to be the case for him, testing should not be needed. This is not a cause for concern. If the bumps are itchy or develop scabs, then this is different and could indicate an infection. I hope this information helps!
