I have 2 goats, a Spanish and a Boer Cross. I noticed a scale like spot under my Spanish goats eye. I asked someone and they said they thought it was a ringworm so I have been docotring it with iodine. Then a spot came up under his ear and then a lump came up on the back of his ear I don't know what it is. Last Saturday I clipped my Boer becuas eI have a show coming up and I sprayed him down with fungacide now I notice little white spote about the size of a penny on his skin under his hair what are they? I'm trying to upload pics.
 
Okay I couldn't get the pictures to load on Cattle Today so I had to do it in Photobucket. I am just posting a link not an actual picture.

I don;t know. Were the spots on your boer when you shaved and put fungicide on? The only reason I ask is because maybe, with him, since this showed up a week after shaving ~ could be sunburn (and now skin is peeling as a result)? When I shaved my goats for show, especially light colored ones, I kept them in for 3 days after shave or until the show to prevent sunburn. Just trying to think of something maybe you haven;t already.....

Other one ~ got me. I would have guessed ringworm or mange as well......
 
Well, Thanks Angie. I took both of them to the vet and he said that on Buster (the spanish) it was a ringworm. He said that on Buddy (the boer) it was either scars from old ringworms, healing ringworms, or brand new ringworms. So they gave me a Iodine Shampoo. Thanks for the help!
 
Wanna fix them and fix them fast? Get you some powdered sulfur and mix it in burned motor oil. Coat the areas with it every other day for a week or two.
