One of my dogs has what the vets think is a sebaceous cyst on her skin. I had it looked at to make sure it was not mast cell, etc. It appeared a few moths ago. She does aggravate it so it will bleed a little--not a flow of blood, but just very red. I learned the hard way not to touch it (it initially was under the skin and I thought it was a boil and tried compressing it and using a drawing salve and aggravated it). Because it does not seem to be going away, I am trying to figure out what to do...and pay attention to the fact that her body is telling us something.
She has not responded much to homeopathy in the past (for trying to help with false pregnancies) and was eventually spayed (I guess that is suppressive too?) and I feel like it would be good to try to find the right remedy or protocol for her so I can keep her healthy. She does not have oily skin, which lost of the client dogs with these cysts do have, but has a tendency to "boils" (which would sometimes empty after a dose of pulsatilla).
Do these things ever clear up on their own? (I mean, with homeopathy, etc--as opposed to surgery). In client dogs who have had them removed, they usually come back--a few for every one removed.
