Can you post a picture, maybe someone will have an idea ?
I’m used to lumps and bumps on dogs. You point them out to the vet, and they can be aspirated, biopsied or you are told to monitor. Recently Buck had a sudden growth in a lump DH had been monitoring. We took him to our vet, and the cyst erupted on examination. (OMG, right?) BUT after 10 days on antibiotics, his skin is clear of every little pimple. I’ll take that as a win.This is exactly why I joined this Poodle forum - to find out what is going on with my 8-year old male toy's skin. He is black and he gets the exact same yellowish, flaky, scabby-looking patches on his chest, hindquarters, and back. I've been to three different vets and they all say it's allergies, but not sure if it's food or environmental. We just went to the vet today and got Prednisone, Clindimiacin, and a medicated shampoo. He's had Cytopoint shots a couple of times as well, which tend to help. It so frustrating!
I'm not much help, I'm afraid. They went away on their own, and haven't reoccured. Best guess for Annie was allergies to some plant she ran through. I hope you figure it out.This is exactly why I joined this Poodle forum - to find out what is going on with my 8-year old male toy's skin.

Have you worked through your home environment? Removing fragrances, swapping cleaners with vinegar, that sort of thing? And tried an elimination diet?This is exactly why I joined this Poodle forum - to find out what is going on with my 8-year old male toy's skin.
