absess - would it cause bald patch?

B

posted before re alfie's jaw absess going but found a bald patch.

the skin of the bald patch isn't soft it is risen sort of lump and looks a bit sore almost like a scab.

if it was another absess would it cause a bald patch?? my friend thought it woudl just be a lump under the hair

if he has been in depocilin injections is it unlikely that could cause another abses on his back?

im worried because i cannot get back to vets until thursday 0 he is eating etc..

thanks - sorry for another thead re this problem
 
It is near on impossible to give an opinion without being able to see it :?

It may well be a scab. If he had a Baytril injection when he had his surgery that is VERY likely to cause a skin reaction which will scab over during the course of 10-14 days.
 
thanks jane - was unable to get a clear pic before it went dark..

its not very obviously only with alot of stroking can it be found i keep losing it so unsure of how long its been there

appreciate your help thanks
