Lump on chin

[Philogirl]

Hi again,

I forgot about the other thing I wanted to post. My eldest, Spike, has a little bump on his chin. Right under his chin about where his neck meets his jaw. It looks like a pimple and it's kind of reddish. He didn't seem bothered by me touching it and poking at it... just pissy when I tried to roll him over to look at it under the light.

I'm worrying about it after reading Courtney's post from awhile back... it's not blue though... and I don't know how long it's been there. However, Spike got his liner in his waterbowl and slept for half the day on a wet liner. Perhaps some trapped moisture left a pimple or sore?

Is this something I should worry about?

I'm pretty sure that a lot of hedgies have a little bump like this on their chin. I'll try to find a thread on it for you.

Here it is.

Can you post a pic of it just in case it is not the same kind they talk about here?

I don't have a digital camera.... but it's exactly the same as described there... with the white hair and everything.

Okay, I feel better.
