Oh, that's true, I wasn't thinking of infection ... if it's a round circle
patch of scab ... it could be ring worm ... or if it has a yellow crusty or
a green crusty it could be an infection - either of those would need a
special medication to clear up.
I had been thinking of just a little cut and scab.

Hi,
They probably ARE scabs with hairs coming out :o). My Bessie had a
really big bump on her leg that was under her hair, and it did end up being
a scab ... it IS hard to tell though because the scab ends up with the hair
all through it, so you don't see the actual scab. If you put neosporin or
another topcial antibiotic on it, it will help you see it a little better.
You should be able to see the skin, and the slight red area around the
bump. If you close your eyes and just feel the bump with your fingers, you
should be able to tell if it feels like a scab or not - it's the hair that
is throwing you off. With Bessie, we just put the neosporin on every day,
twice a day, and in a week or so, the scab fell off and then there was a
nice little bald pink healed spot where it was. I have no idea how she got
a cut the size of a pea, unless it was her and Elsa playing!
