My dog has a blackhead on his penis, is this normal or concerning?

These are comedones (black heads) and usually due to an underlying metabolic disease or a skin infection possibly caused by mites. Your veterinarian will be able to perform blood work as well as a skin scrape and cytology to check for any of these diseases.

Without being able to perform a close physical exam or view an image, it's hard to say for sure what these might be. Some dogs will have black skin pigmentation in this area that can appear as black specks, especially if they have a history of allergies or itching in this area. I would recommend having this examined by a vet to be safe - it may not be anything concerning, but it may also be a skin infection of some kind or even early signs of a skin tumor such as a [melanoma](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/malignant-melanoma/). Your vet can take a look and let you know if it is a cause for concern or not.

I don't think you need to freak out about it. It does not look concerning. It may just be a plugged hair follicle or a small cyst. I suggest you use these medicated pads on the affected area once or twice a day. If after a week or so, if there is no improvement, then he should see your vet. If you are worried you can always have him examined now. There is no harm in that. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-5393-douxo-chlorhexidine-3-ps-pads-for-dogs-and-cats-30.aspx?SearchTerm=duoxo+Auto )

I cannot see the penis of your dog very well as it is very blurry. This could be the normal shape of the bulbus of the penis which is a physiological swellbody to lock the penis in the vagina during mating, but also a problem. However I would need a sharp picture to see that. Maybe you can upload a better picture and we can help you with your query.

If you look at it closely, you should be able to see legs if it is a tick. I cannot tell because when I enlarge the photo it gets too blurry. The other options as to what it could be is a cyst or a tumor. I really think you need to have him to your vet for an exam. It is better to be safe than sorry. I can appreciate your financial constraints but maybe you can get assistance from one of these organizations: ( https://www.dogingtonpost.com/need-help-with-vet-bills-or-pet-food-there-are-resources-available/ ) Since you did not post your accurate location I cannot help you in finding a low cost vet clinic. You can a do a search online yourself or call your local Humane Society as they often know of the more affordable clinics in your specific area.

Thanks for the question again and the pictures. From what I can see on the images the penis looks normal, possibly slightly swollen but overall normal. It does not look like there is excessive discharge or signs of infections. If the penis is able to retract normally inside the prepuce, I would not be worried about it.

Sometimes the hair follicles can get a little plugged and that's what it looks like is going on around Gucci's vulva. If she is not bothered I wouldn't worry about it - this can be normal. If she seems red or irritated or is itching often I'd recommend taking her to your vet.
