My dog has skin growths. What's the best way to diagnose and treat?

Question

My dog was recently diagnosed with warts and we are advised to have him undergo an operation to remove them. Considering that a surgery was required, we reached out to a trusted doctor who diagnosed him with dermoids (skin infection) instead. He advised against an operation and is suggesting homeopathy, of which i am naturally skeptical. We have already tried a round of injections to treat the infected area however it has not helped. Hence, i thought of reaching to you guys for a third opinion. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 4 months old | 57 lbs

Poor Cyrus! It is impossible to diagnose from this picture and I would recommend referral to a dermatology specialist or biopsy of the affected area to determine exactly what is going on. The area does not look infected (red/raw/pus etc) but pictures can be very deceiving.
