Why are my dog's neck growths getting huge and nasty despite meds?

Question

I just posted an updated picture of my dogs growths on his neck. In just a few days they've gotten huge and nasty. He's been on simplicef, prednisone, and ketaconazole for 4 days now with a strict schedule. He also gets medicated baths every 3 days. Nothing is helping. Please take a look at the skin growth on my profile and help me figure out what his vets can't diagnose. I cannot afford the $19.99 right now, but I really need answers. Pet's info: Dog | Cocker Spaniel | Male | unneutered | 5 years and 8 months old | 30 lbs

This kind of lump/growth needs to be ideally assessed by your veterinarian to have a definitive and specific answer. Usually there are two ways your vet can do that a part from examining it directly during physical examination. A biopsy can be taken under local or general anesthetic, otherwise a smaller sample through a fine needle can be aspirated (this technique is called FNA= fine needle aspiration). Unfortunately without sampling them it is difficult to give you a straight answer.
