My dog has a pimple-like bump near his eye. Should I be worried?

Question

My English bulldog has a bump on the outside of his eye (on his fur). It looks a little like a pimple but I’m not sure. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | English Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 35 lbs

Poor Levon. This could be exactly that. If it has a white head, it may just be a pustule or small local infection. This could just be because of a skin infection, allergies, or even a ant/bug bite. If he is bothered by it or multiple pustules come up or if this one doesn’t go away, then I would have your vet look at it. Since it is so close to the eye, I wouldn’t medicate it as I am afraid some might get into the eye. Keep watching it closely. Any changes or if it isn’t going away I would take him in. I hope this helps!
