The Frenchie dog breed is one of the most popular dog breeds in the world. However, French Bulldogs can suffer from skin allergies because they are prone to many skin problems and allergies. Their skin folds can trap debris and moisture, and their hair can break due to rubbing.

In this article, we will discuss why your French bulldog may be suffering from pimples and what are the skin issues that affect the Frenchie dog and how you can possibly minimize or eliminatethem.

A hormonal imbalance can also be the cause of pimples. When French bulldogs are in a growing phase, like humans, they also suffer from pimples. It's easy to spot a pimples on the Frenchie dog's skin because it appears as whiteheads, red bumps, and blackheads.

Sometimes your Frenchie will be rubbing his/her mouth, face, and head on the floor mat which can also be the symptom. If you don't treat pimples in time, they can be very painful when touched.

Change your dog's cosmetic products and choose an appropriate shampoo because Frenchie dogs have sensitive skin and don't react well to any artificial ingredients in the shampoo.

Select a shampoo that is rich in medicinal herbs because they are effective in treating blackheads in Frenchie. These medicated shampoos can prevent antibacterial infections and skin problems.

To avoid pimples on French bulldogs, you should improve their hygiene. If your dog's skin is producing excess sebum, consult your vet about special treatment. At some point, the vet may recommend a special shampoo bath to relieve pimples.

Your vet may also do an allergy blood panel test or recommend changing your dog's protein source to duck or even suggest feeding your Frenchie raw foods. There are many skin problems that a French bulldog can suffer from. Some of them are discussed below.

At the beginning of dermatitis, you will see irritated red skin that will later progress to scaling, scabbing, and even pustules. Dermatitis is commonly seen in French bulldogs on the tail folds and nasal folds.

These are prime locations because they can easily trap debris and moisture and can get inflamed quickly. Occasionally, unpleasant odor and purulent discharge are also observed in these areas. Dermatitis can be avoided in these areas by keeping these folds dry and clean.

Clean the folds of Frenchie's skin with wipes or damp cloths. The treatment of dermatitis can also be carried out with oral antibiotics prescribed by your vet and with antifungal and antibacterial shampoos. Some topical solutions are also used to prevent this problem.

When your Frenchie suffer from fleas, they will show certain symptoms like scratching; licking, chewing, and often seem restless. If you suspect fleas are on your pet's skin, you can check their fur for flea dirt.

Flea dirt looks like any other dirt on the skin and is small black flakes made up of flea droppings containing their blood and feces. You can use a flea comb to check your Frenchie's fur and if you see any black “pepper- like” residue, then your French Bulldog is positive for flea dirt.

There are many flea treatments available on the market, and a vet can recommend the best treatment for your dog. Some available flea treatments are flea repellent sprays, flea collars, and oral medications.

When the skin is damaged, it will be a perfect environment for bacterial infection. Furthermore, if their skin gets a little wet when swimming, a recent bath, playtime in the water, or a walk in the rain can provide a perfect environment for bacterial infection. Hot spots may look scary and worse than they really are.

The hot spot can be treated by trimming the hair at the infection site so that place gets enough air and any wounds dry quickly. You can also use antibacterial solutions to clean the area.

If the infected area doesn't heal quickly, you can also use antibiotics for treatment. If your Frenchie is continually chewing on the infected area, you can use "cone" or "e-collar" to avoid excessive licking or chewing on the area.

If you want to prevent hot spots on a more regular basis e-collar may not be sustainable as you can't leave your Frenchie with an e-collar all the time. In those cases we recommend organic hypoallergenic Frenchie pajamas for itchy pets or those with allergies.

Wearing the doggie pajamas will limit access to their skin. Having the skin less accessible can help to reduce irritation caused by scratching, along with a reduction in licking and chewing affected areas

Wearing dog pajamas can also limit your dog’s contact with allergens that make them scratch in the first place. Our soft organic cotton Frenchie pajamas provide a protective barrier between your dog’s skin and the outer elements that may contain irritants.

When you wash your dog's pajamas, you also wash away the dander and allergens rather than allowing them to settle in the air or spread it around on floors and furniture. We recommend having a couple in case one is in the wash.

In this disease, numerous cutaneous lesions develop on the dog's skin. At some point, the dog's immune system will attack its own RBCs and lead to a life-threatening condition.

This condition is often diagnosed by skin biopsy, and there is no adequate treatment for autoimmune diseases, only immunosuppressive drugs are used.

The common signs that appear in the French bulldog that suffers from ringworm are scaling or scabbing lesions. It can also be contagious, so be careful when treating ringworm.

It can be treated with anti-fungal medications if the lesions are present at one point. Your vet may also recommend medicated shampoos and oral medications.

The Frenchie dog is a sensitive dog breed and can suffer from pimples and other skin conditions. If your Frenchie has any skin problems, you can try a more natural and holistic approach to treat your French Bulldog's skin, however, it is always important to consult with your vet.
