What is a histocytoma?

Answer 1

This is quite common in young dogs and it's a red, hairless benign skin tumor usually on the head, one eye, ears or limbs and tumor will spontaneously recede without treatment in 2 - 3 months. Histiocytoma is painless. It sounds as if you have already been to the vets and been given a diagnosis (your vet is keeping an eye on it) and if you haven't been to a vet with your dog please go and get a proper diagnosis.

Answer 2

A histiocytoma is a benign skin tumor commonly found in young dogs. It is typically a small, raised lump that can be red or pink in color. Most histiocytomas will regress on their own without treatment, but it's always best to have any new lumps or masses checked by a veterinarian.
