Cyst on paw

[~Astral~]

Hi all,

It's me again. I have just noticed what looks like a cyst on Sid's paw. On one of his rear paws. He has several cysts on his body which the vet said was cyst and also blocked hair follicles which causes red lump things. Apparently its common in older dogs. Anyway I think this lump is a cyst - it looks like the others but is very red/pinkish colour. It's literally on the edge of one of his pads.

I'm worried this is going to cause him some pain, especially if it gets any bigger. Has anyone else had this problem with their dog? Did the cyst go away or was it removed?

I'll try and attatch a pic. Thank you all again.

My first Beagle had many cysts. They did not go away, we did remove only those that grew in size or were potential problems. Does this in any way bother him now? Can he walk ok?

Hiya. Sorry I couldn't add the pics. They're too large. It doesn't seem to bother Sid but I have caught him nibbling his foot occassionaly.
