    My Dog Has What Looks Like A Boil Or Cyst On The Top Of Her Head. How Can I Treat It?

    She had what felt like a knot in the same spot for a few months. I'm thinking it may be the same area, and became infected. My other dog has been licking it, and I'm worried that it may cause whatever it is to spread.

    Many things can cause masses in dogs--abscesses (walled off infection), cysts, scar tissue, and tumors.  Regardless of the cause if your other dog is licking it--this is introducing bacteria to the area and will cause a secondary infection.  You can prevent your other dog from licking it by using an Elizabethan Collar.  Then take this dog to be examined by a veterinarian.

      I think it might be a bacterial infection. It require treatment with antibiotics made especially for pets. I advise you to visit a vet and get proper diagnosis to avoid further spread and complications.
