My dog has a rough, scabby spot on his snout. Should I worry?

Question

My dog (10 months) has a rough spot on the skin on the top of his snout. He rubs it sometimes with his paws and has had it for a couple of weeks. It almost feels like a scab. Is this something to worry about? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Male | neutered | 10 months old | 20 lbs

Hi. If Enzo has had this spot a few weeks and it's not getting better, it's probably a good idea to get him checkout by the vet. If it isn't bother him, you can give it a few more days, but young dogs can possibly develop mange or ringworm. Or if he's rubbing it, it may just be a sore that can't heal but your vet can help with some Medications to speed up the healing process.
