What You Need to Know About Lick Granuloma

Acral lick dermatitis (ALD), or lick granuloma, is injury to a dog’s skin caused by chronic licking.

Causes of ALD include itchy skin (allergies), a painful underlying condition such as arthritis, mites and a behavioral or psychological disorder.

It’s important to diagnose not only the skin wound, but the underlying cause of the itching so the lick granuloma doesn’t recur.

Treatment of the skin wound will require preventing your dog from continuing to lick the area, keeping the wound clean and applying natural healing remedies.

It’s also important to address any psychological or emotional factors that may be contributing to the obsessive licking.
