Hard to tell from the picture, but looks like a small abscess. Best too get your vet to look at it. Has it been there long?

Should i put sudocreme or germalene or any cream on my pigs lip spot? Worried owner
Please have her seen by a vet first! We have got a piggy savvy UK vet locator on the top bar. Sudocrem should not be ingested. If you wish to, you can get saline from the pharmacy or make it yourself by stirring one teaspoon of water into one pint of boiled, cooled water.

No I should wait until you get a diagnosis from your vet. A lot of human meds are unsafe for piggies.

It can also lead to us giving misleading advice if cannot take the whole background or complexity of an illness into account.
