My 12 year old border collie mix has had this sore for awhile now on her hind leg. After some research, I believe it’s a sebaceous gland tumor. Can someone confirm? What should I put on it? I try to be as organic as possible. She keeps licking at it. Should I take her to the vet?

Hello,

We shouldn’t ever diagnose via a photo. We should only make a presumptive diagnosis in person after a history and examination is completed. A confirmatory diagnosis is made with a biopsy submitted to a pathologist for microscopic evaluation. But this does appear to be consistent with a benign skin growth.
