Symptoms of Dog Acne Include:
- Red, swollen bumps on the skin surface
- Blackheads and pimples that lead to soreness of the surrounding skin
- Dogs with acne may also excessively scratch or rub their faces due to discomfort
Inspect the area carefully for signs of infection, like excessive pus. Make a note of when the flare-up started and how long it lasts so you can work with your veterinarian for proper treatment. Recognizing these signs early is important to your dog’s health.
