Hi guys,
Here is my problem. My dog has developed these red, irritated bumps on his chin. The area that has the bumps is also a little swollen. If I press or squeeze on them a little bit of blood/ clear liquid comes out and occasional a tiny bit of white puss, but only a very very tin amount. The area doesn't seem to itch and it hasn't spread. He also had a couple of these bumps in-between his toes but they went away. At first I thought it was seasonal allergies but the ones on the chin haven't gone away. They seemed to get better for a bit and then boom, its back on his chin.

Just to soothe the irritated areas I have been soaking him in a warm Epsom salt bath and then I applied some neem oil on the affected area. Aside from these bumps, the dog seems to be in great health. I have a buddy with a dog bred similar to mine (same sire) and his dog also developed these bumps in-between his toes. His dogs bumps went away after he stopped feeding him beef. I have switched to a chicken based diet (mixture of raw whole ground chicken, and some Purina Pro Plan Sport Chicken kibble. I also add in some bee pollen and a few times a week will add either plain yogurt, kiefer or buttermilk. The bumps haven't gotten any better yet

Before taking him to the vet I thought I'd ask around for help and do some more research. i am wondering if going to a kibble that is grain free will help. Perhaps in the near future I will go to Jacks suggested raw diet and exclude kibble all together. The only reason I am using kibble at all is because the whole ground animals are pricey but if going straight raw will remedy my dog than I will do it ASAP. Also I wanted to see how adding in some more carbs (kibble) to his diet would affect his endurance when doing road work. Also, his stools are solid and no weird colors, so all good there. Tonight I will add pictures of affected area.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
