My mini schnauzer has developed small pimple like skin tags/bumps. What can I treat them with? Human acne cream? Hydrogen peroxide? Please help. She is shaved. She eats grain free Wellness for small breed and takes a NaturVet joint supplement.

Hi and thank you for reaching out about Roxy. The pictures you have provided for Roxy appear to be benign "skin tags" ("skin warts"). They do not cause Roxy any pain and generally are not a problem for dogs. The treatments you have asked about/mentioned will not remove them. Her fur coat looks very healthy and these skin tags generally do not cause any problems. If you would like them removed it must be safely done with a very small surgical removal performed by her veterinarian. Otherwise, we usually have you continue to monitor them at home unless they start to bother Roxy.
