Help!

Hello Everyone
So I was looking at Peanut today. And I noticed... He had something White sticking off his nose that looked almost like Wood? So I did a small tugg on it, And it feel out! It doesn't feel like Wood? Almost like a clump of fur? And now he has a bald spot on his nose? What could this be from?

maybe matted fur? I have no idea, i hope someone can help!

I don't know... Maybe dry skin?

Is there any Lotion I could out on it? Like otter cream? Would that be safe?

Poor little baby, maybe @Wiebke or @helen105281 or @Pebble can help.

It is most likely "boar glue" (hardened semen). If you can, snip it off as it is otherwise very difficult and unpleasant to get it off without ripping the short hair on the nose off.

One of mine sometimes has this on his nose. Thats boy pigs for you haha! Got to wonder how they get it on their noses though.

Oh my goodness, Ew. Haha that sounds like what it may be! Thanks for all your help everyone!

Barney once got a big lump of it stuck to his lip - god knows how he managed to get it on there - it might not even have been his! Had to wait for it to drop off on its own as it was stuck so fast!
