Not listed in all skin books and not many pics , i'm often surprised by how few 'young vets' do not recognise the condition.
Nearly always dobermans but any bignoses can. Trick is always tell the client it will get worse before it get better and may reach the face, then bang it with marb, the affected area may slough.

Hi, this lesion is suggestive of eosinophilic furunculosis, and immune medicated condition. Whilst self-limiting scarring is an issue and steroids may reduce this. Washes should be gentle.
