Funny looking scab on boars tummy

[AndyPands83]

hi all,

Just noticed this tonight when we picked up our boar tonight, we haven’t noticed it before on his tummy but not sure if we need to take him to the vet to be looked at?

I know they have belly buttons and nipples but really not sure on this.

Thanks all

Yeah a quick vets check in that for sure.
Where about on tummy is it?

Hi and welcome

It looks rather like a normal nipple to me.
The colour and markings on nipples depend on the normal skin markings and colour. The variation in skin pigmentation is much wider than you'd expect because piggies have a wider range of fur colours - and the skin can be much darker in some cases than the fur colour it is connected to.

If you look to the left just under your hand on the photo you can see the other nipple peeking out.

It looks like a nipple, is there a matching one on the other side. They are sometimes different colours depending on the skin pigmentation.

We posted together. Wiebke is so much better explaining things than me!
