A skin biopsy showed ruptured epidermal cyst - pyogranulomatous inflammation.
A very difficult skin disease to treat with antibiotics in this pug as the pyoderma keeps spreading and the pug keeps scratching every day uncontrollably.

FIRST VISIT
PUSTULES AND COLLARETTES

Always palpate and press the skin lump. It was painful as the pug reacted to palpation. I suspected an abscess. Histology report of skin lump from central sternal area - acute suppurative inflammation and abscess formation. Noevidence of malignancy.
