I'm having a tough time seeing the bump in the pic but my first thoughts are: hemorrhoids, polyp or a environmental irritation. If hemorrhoids or polyp, likely increasing fiber (canned pumpkin) will help keep it at Bay.

My Frenchie mix had a hemorrhoid and polyp for years and we only removed it when he had his teeth cleaned (ie it wasn't urgent to remove).

Not sure what it is but try washing with chlorhexidine or betadine and then putting on some Sudocreme and Germolene tonight if he lets you, as long as he doesn't lick there.

Is it behind the anis in this photo? If yes, I’d have it checked by your vet

See Vet. Looks like a cyst and left unattended could result in fistula. In that location, nothing to play around with.

Just back from vet. Wasnt overly pleased with the visit. She she said it was a scab and that he has irritation linked to his skin issues. But I've never in his short little life seen him so much pain while she was examining in him he was howling in pain growling snarling and snapping and trying to bite hes never done that before he wont come near any of us now. Surely some slight irritation wouldn't cause that much pain

She stuck her fingers inside him. But hes had this done before and been totally fine but not thos time. So something in there must be killing him. She said everything felt normal and she couldn't feel anything

Apart from see the scab which also came away while she was examining him x

Is this a bulldog knowledgeable vet? Might want to find another vet if not, or at least get a second opinion as it sounds like he’s in pain from more than just a scab.

[MENTION=18696]Kellylowe31[/MENTION] Definitely find another Veterinarian to take him to. Not that much pain from a "scab". Better have it checked out further! The sooner the better.
