My dog has a bleeding lump under her eye. Should I be worried?

Question

hello! my dog has grown a lump the size of a grape under her left eye since last week; thinking it is a bug bite I had given her baby Benadryl to reduce the “allergy”. I had thought of it to be a bug bite but I’m not sure because as I thought it was getting better I believe she scratched it and it began bleeding. Should I be worried or may I treat it at home with hydrogen peroxide and Neosporin? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 10 lbs

A lump in this area is commonly caused by an infected tooth root. Sophie should get checked out by the vet. If they think that it is a tooth, the tooth needs to be removed. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatories will help for a couple weeks, but it won't cure the problem and it will return.
