Zit looking thing

My EM has these bumps that look just like my zits on her lip area on her face??? Does anyone know if they can get a pimple? Don't mean to sound stupid just don't want to run her to the vet if that's all it might be. Can I do anything for them? :yuck:

Probably a wart. Apparently very common, more so in young dogs. Unless it is "visually unappealing" not much to worry about.

It could be acne. Ruby has a really bad case of it right now, just after her heat her hormones go crazy & she breaks out. I wash her face with hot water & a tea tree oil base shampoo; rinse with the hose on a shower setting. It helps to dry them out. You really don't have to do anything; Ruby has a conformation show this weekend though so I've been trying to clear it up a little. She & Sunny get them so bad that they wince if I touch them sometimes.

Gunner would get theese a lot and they would bleed sometimes!!! Turns out he has a reaction to plastics, and his kibble (I was feeding kibble at the time). So I changed kibbles and also I changed out his bowls from plastic to metal and took away all plastic type toys and they completely cleared up!!!

Some of our dogs get these if they are rooters or during cycle times but they will clear up on their own. I can't stand them so I use acne pads on them :)

yea this is acne, just wash the area with warm water and a towel it will clear on its own. I know it is disgusting but it is nothing to worry about. especially after eating and drinking bein in between the folds of his skin and just wipe it down...it will go away after some time though.
