What's this painful pink bump on my Maltese's back? Should I see a vet?

Question

There’s a small pink blister/bump on the back of my Maltese that hurts him when I touch it. Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Male | unneutered | 5 years and 7 months old

Dr. Leigh, DVM · Accepted Answer

It might be a pustule or a sebaceous cyst. You could try over the counter Vetericyn plus spray and see if it resolves. Otherwise, schedule an appointment with your vet to determine the cause and treat.
