Poor Hershey. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done or given to prevent the growth of any mass. You can try giving Benadryl twice a day (see link below) and applying Neosporin ointment mixed with cortisone ointment to help try and soothe him and prevent him from rubbing it all the time. Unfortunately it may not help. You can also put a cone on him if he is still rubbing it and making himself bleed. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/#!
