My Frenchie has a red bump behind her ear that won't go away. Help!

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Female | spayed | 2 years and 2 months old | 30 lbs

Hi, My frenchie Harley has a red bump behind her right ear. It’s the size of a pea. She’s had it for a few days now. We’ve been putting neosporine on it but it hasn’t gone down. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Alicia Norgaard

Hi Alicia! If this bump hasn't gone down, I'd suggest having it checked out by a vet. It could be something like a histiocytoma, which needs no treatment and typically goes away on its own in a few months, but it could be something else. Have a vet see Harley, and they can diagnose the cause of the lump and what treatment, if any, is needed.
