Wally the naked boy whose hairless was treated with ivermectin yesterday as his fur brothers seemed itchy lately. Wally had this bump on him for the last week, thinking it was a scab as he get scratched sometimes since he’s lacking fur. Today this strange thing the size of 1 centimeter, or 2 at most, fell out. It’s very hard and had left a pit on him. Does anyone know what this could be, a tick or a mite ? Thank you!
It’s too big to be a mite.I am sure that is a scab from a healed abscess,they can stay in the skin for months before they drop out and they do look black and gritty and leave a pit in the skin.
It's not an insect. Mites are near-microscopic and you'd see legs/mouth parts on a tick. Looks to me like a hardened scab or possibly a cyst or other growth.
