Odd Sarcoid Situation...I Think??

[fredthoroughbred]

Hi there,

I have noticed that Fred has been trying to chew and scratch under his belly quite a lot (just off his sheath) where he has a big fibroblastic sarcoid.
I have been putting lots of barrier cream and fly spray on the area in a bid to ward off flies but I went to apply somemore cream and the sarcoid had vanished leaving a hole in its place

I don't think this is a normal "sarcoid falling off" situation, I think he must have bitten it off because it is quite sore for him now.
Has this happened to anyone else and if so, do you treat it the same as you would a sarcoid that has been banded or treated in another conventional way?? Will the horrid thing reapper in time??

Thanks

sometimes they just pop out like a great big spot (gross, i know.) i always put wound spray on, and sometimes that type don't come back.

2 of Pickle's nodular sarcoids have popped like that. Both were relatively recently so although both wounds have healed I don't know whether they will come back. Vet advice was clean the area very gently & keep an eye out in case of infection but handle as little as possible. One hole was between her back legs & about the size of a 2p coin.
