One of my big baby males has a dry patch of dry flakey skin round his nipple, its very tough and made the skin hard and seems to be sore to the touch but he's a loud one anyway so not 100% on that. There hasnt been any itching, sounds fungal?

Just want some pre-vet visit ideas, gonna get him an apointment asap.
 
Ok so I washed him with a fungal shampoo and put some Clotrimazol on the effected area, and a few hours later its looking so much better. All the dead skin is gone (this didnt come off with just washing or the shampoo), and the skin is looking alot cleaner and healthy, the flesh round the area is still a little bit hard. So it looks like this is working but can it really be that fast?
 
Can't really help you on this one..........so i'm hoping that tomoro when our lovely UK peeps wake up someone will be able to advise :)
Good idea to do the bath :)
