Hi All.

Im new to this forum. Ive noticed this red spot/possible rash area around my dogs mouth. I didnt notice how large it was until I was looking at the pics from todays beach visit. I am so worried. I tried googling what it could be and the closest thing I saw was Mange, i really hope its not.

Riley- mix breed mystery 1.5 old, eats Blue buffalo dog food.

please help!thanks

I would definitely get it checked out by a vet - if it is mange it will only get worse.

Hmm it doesn't look exactly like mange to me, but I'm no expert. Maybe it could be an allergic reaction to something? My dog had something similar around her eye that just turned out to be an allergic reaction. I would get Riley into the vet asap. You can never be too safe!

Hi,

Allergies are fairly easy to treat once the cause has been established, which is really trial and error have you changed his food or walk areas recently where he is coming into contact with new things ?

If the marks are around the mouth has he picked up a sting or bite of some kind ?

If it is mange try a wash containing benzoyl peroxide .

But obviously seek the help of your vet if it dosent clear up.

Before it get serious take him to vet rather taking home remedies.
