Why is my dog scratching a red bump near his neuter stitches?

Question

I got my dog neutered when he was 7 months old he is now almost one and about a month ago we noticed a red bump where his stitches are and he drags his bum to scratch it. It is not near the anus you have to lay him on his back to see it. Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | neutered | 11 months and 25 days old | 24 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to know what this may be without an evaluation. I suspect that this is likely unrelated to the neuter per se and this is likely due to an itch possibly secondary to allergies for example or perhaps there may be an infection going on. I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to evaluate him and determine what may be going on so that he can be treated accordingly. Good luck!
