What is this???

I have discored a small black and crusty bump on the top of Albert's head, and it seems to be getting bigger. He won't let me get close enough to it to examine it, He pulls away like it hurts. Anyone got an idea? Thanks yall!

A tick? Or maybe he's just scratched himself there and it's a scab?
It sounds to me like a scab, too. Mine get them from time to time when they wrestle around. If it seems to bother him, put some antibiotic ointment on to speed up the healing process. It works wonders. Stormi and co.
Thanks, I put some antiseptic on it, hopefully it will get better soon.
Hi ,

How old is Albert? Shaggy had numerous warts on her body which I didn't even know existed until the last six months of her life when I had her shaved very short for the vet to be able to check all her lumps. I was told Sheepies get a lot of warts when they become aged. Shaggy was 15...so I was just wondering if perhaps it may be a wart you are seeing. Sometimes they will nick it if they scratch themselves or bump it and they are sensitive to touch.

8 months... I am guessing it was caused from some puppy mischeviousness :D
Sheepy has bumps like that too. He has them on like his snout and his head and some on his legs.They look almost like his skin has boiled up and like filled with liquid and then they will pop and it will bleed and all that. He will pull away when we try to touch them so we try to leave them alone and just make sure they are clean. He is old though but yeah he has them too.
