Hi everyone.
I have a 7 year old pitbull and I noticed that some of her nipples have black spots. Does anyone know if this is normal? Do I need to be worried?

Skin has color. she has darker skin coloration spotted across her belly. Unless something has changed recently about the nipple colors or textures, then it is a very normal skin color pattern.

If you see a change, discharge, scabbing or other irritation then consult your vet.

I have a 45-pound male German Shepherd who just turned 3 years old today! He is currently receiving treatment topically at his vet's office for an MRSP skin infection. While giving him the bath today, I noticed a black spot near the internal location of one of his nipples. It was soft and not raised or like a lump or anything like that. It was in line with his other nipple. Can someone help me with an idea of what this could be?

This thread is over a year old and the original poster hasn't been back here in about as long. I'm closing this thread to avoid confusion, but you can absolutely start a new thread of your own. Just know that it's against forum rules to try to diagnose medical conditions, so it's a good idea to have your vet take a look at the spot first.
