My senior dog has black bumps on his chin and near his mouth.

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Manchester Terrier(Toy) | Male | neutered | 9 years and 9 months old | 21 lbs

Hi, i was wondering what these 2 or so black-like-bumps or moles are on my dog's chin& under close to his mouth , he is around 10 years old or so, rescue Manchester terrier dog 21+- pounds. He is not the easiest dog to take to the vet hard to control at clinic. He also had a fall from the couch several months ago, and he likes sitting in the sun everyday for vitamin D, and there was also a dog who tried to bite face once, so i'm not sure if these moles are related to any of this or from skin?Thx

It is hard to say for sure by just these pictures but they look like skin tags. If they are hard, growing, bleeding or bothering him, I would have him seen by your vet. Otherwise, you could just watch them for any change. I hope this helps!
