My dog has a red, sore lump on his penis. When should I see a vet?

Question

hello, over the last few days I have noticed a very small blister like lump near the opening of my dog's penis. It's red/purpleish in colour and is causing him no discomfort or problems with peeing, but to me looks quite sore. Another dog licked the area earlier today as if to suggest a problem. Pet's info: Dog | Greyhound | Male | neutered | 8 months and 6 days old | 39 lbs

It's possible something may have irritated Barley's penis, causing the blister you are seeing. It is best to keep the area clean and dry and prevent him and other dogs from licking or chewing at the spot. If it doesn't clear up in a day or so, becomes bothersome, or affects his ability to urinate, it is best to have a vet take a look to see if there is a possible infection or other issue causing it.
