small lump on horses shoulder / neck area????

[horselover12]

My horse has a small sort of pea sized lump on his neck area, it doesnt have any heat, it doesnt seem to be causing him any pain or discomfort and it came up yesterday????? Im not sure if it could be a bite because it does not have any scabbing or mark on the skin?????? Anyone know what it could be or any advice???????

An insect bite...?

 

[horselover12]

That's what I was thinking but there is no mark on his skin where he could of been bitten?????

 

[tallyho!]

We're finding those on ours!!! One of the mares had one on her nose!! Like a huge zit with no head

See if it is in the skin or deeper by trying to move it.

 

[horselover12]

Yeah that's what it looks like!!!! you can move it and it's not hard or anything, any ideas??????

Yes, it's a mozzy bite. You could put some bite cream on it but it will just go on it's own...
