Yes, I have two pugs both who have experienced the same thing. If you do not touch or squeeze them they will eventually go away. My oldest pug Amber had one which was quite big, to the point I did not want to take her out. After a chat with my vet she advised the same, they will go away. Must be just something all those wrinkles get. They do look quite red at times which is a worry. If they have not gone in a few weeks then get piece of mind from the vet. Great question.
Hope this helps.

My little Lila has a white one on the side of her jowl....it doesn't seem to bother her so I haven't worried about it. I just keep an eye on it so that I'm aware of any changes...was glad to see this question and the response.

Hi,

My little guy used to get them during his 0-2 years of age. I asked the vet and she proceeded to squeeze one. It actually went away very quickly after that. Whenever he has them that's what I do and it seems to help them heal fast. It doesn't seem to bother him.

Good luck!

check on what kind of bowls he's eating and drinking from, some materials especially plastic can cause this. Stainless is best. Also if he's a sloppy eater you might what to start cleaning his face after chowing down.

My pug has gotten these since he was only a few months old (he'll be a year next week) and sometimes gets 4 or 5 at a time. The last one he had was really big and took a couple of weeks to go away. I have no idea what causes them but what someone suggestsed to me was to use a little peroxide on the spot (I dabbed it on with a Q-tip) a couple times a day if the skin isn't broken. If they do break open I use a tiny bit of neosporin at night before he falls asleep so that there's less of a chance of him licking it off. From what I've heard these are pretty harmless and most dogs grow out of it. Hope this helps!

My vet gave Pugsley Pryoben shampoo to use weekly to keep these under control. It has helped a lot as far as prevention. I don't know if it would help heal them any faster?

Yes. We have two pugs and I notice it happening to one more than the other. Our vet advised us to apply a warm washcloth (rung out) and it should "pop" the pimple. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't and it just goes away on its own. Hope this helps!!

My 8 month old pug Star has the same problem. I am glad to have read this topic makes me not worry as much. She has 3, 2 on the side of her lip and 1 above her eye. So you all think wiping it with baby wipes will help and eventually it will go away?
