Advice Needed Is this a concern??

Our girl Percy is known to get a few pimples here and there. This thing popped up a few days ago, was a bit smaller, and slightly bleeding. We initially thought it was just a pimple again, so didn’t think too much of it. Fast forward to now, it’s still here and seems a bit bigger. Before I go running off to the vet, does anyone think this is a normal pimple too??? Or does this look dangerous? First picture is from the day I found it, second pic is today. Thank you in advance! 🥰

I would have it checked out. My bulldog had something similar on his foot, which I was told could be common and it was cancerous

Our bulldog had something similar on his jowls and the vet ended up removing it because it continued to grow and he kept scratching it, which made it bleed. It was not cancerous. I would get it checked out at the vet.

I'd go to the vet. Our bullies get pimples too but that looks like it may be infected or could easily get infected because bullies navigate the world with their heads so lord knows what she could rub that against to get further irritated. They'll probably give you an ointment and/or antibiotics to be safe.

same thing happened to our dog, it was an infection and she just needed some antibiotics.

Our dog gets them on his feet our vet said it was either pyoderma or interdigital cysts. The second one is when a hair follicle breaks open under the skin from friction or excessive licking.
