Q:Hey All,

I was wondering if anybody has seen anything like this? My puppy always had this tiny chunk of bald spot on his head. very small, about the size of a pencil eraser. Nothing huge. Well he's almost 5 months now, and it started getting pink, and the doctor took a sample to see if it was ringworm and it came up negative...no fungus. But it's getting worse, he's losing a little more hair at a time, about the size of a dime now. and the skin is black with pink around it, and it's sort of spreading. Pics are at the link below. Anybody know what it is?

Thanks
Jusitn

A:Does it hurt?
A:Not at all...he pays absolutely no attention to it what so ever. He doesn't itch it, or rub his head on anything (Unless he's coming in from the rain he'll rub into the carpet). Other than that, I don't even think he knows it's there.
A:How are his ears?

I ask because if his ears are infected, when he shakes his head, that's where they would hit.
