My dog has new growths on his inner thigh. Warts or skin tags?

Question

My 19 month old has multiple growths on his inner back thigh. I had a single growth removed over the summer but did not have it bioposed. Now he has about 4-5 more. Is this warts? Skin tags? I want to know what they could possibly be. Pet's info: Dog | American Staffordshire Terrier | Male | 2 years and 7 months old | 74 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! These could be benign or malignant growths. There is no way of knowing for sure without an examination though this represents a reason to seek veterinary care. This is usually determined with an examination and a fine needle aspirate (FNA) or a biopsy. Treatment depends on the findings up to that point. I recommend you have Cooper evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good night!
