My dog has a paw pimple. Can I use Epsom salt and Neosporin on it?

Question

Spanky has a white pimple on his right back paw. My other dog keeps trying to lick it. We stop him from licking it so as to not make it worse. Would a epsom salt bath do any good? Should we apply Neosporin afterwards? Pet's info: Dog | Boston Terrier | Male | neutered | 13 years and 8 months old | 23 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Thanks for the pictures! The thing on his foot looks like a mass that is bleeding. The most common growths that look like this are sebaceous adenomas or skin tags. You can soak the food in Epsom salts and apply a triple antibiotic ointment but the mass likely needs to be removed. I wish you the best!
