Schnauzer Bumps & the Mini Schnauzer

The skin condition referred to as 'Schnauzer Bumps', or comedone syndrome, mainly affects the Schnauzer breed - hence the name.

You wake up one morning to find a few little black bumps developing upon your Schnauzer's back, like little warts - don't panic. These Schnauzer bumps, as they're called, are not harmful to your Schnauzer (unless they get infected, of course). Then a visit to the vet will be in order for a round of antibiotics.

Unfortunately for the Miniature Schnauzer, these bumps or comedones are an inherited condition that will be present throughout the dog's life.

How to get rid of Schnauzer Bumps


There is no cure for this skin ailment, but some Miniature Schnauzer owners have reported relief from using:

Castor & Pollux Head to Tail Aloe Oatmeal Shampoo for Dogs and Cats


  • Benzoyl peroxide shampoos
  • Applications of witch hazel, or hydrogen peroxide to the bumps
  • Keeping the hair clipped short


Other Schnauzer owners have had success by changing or experimenting with their Schnauzer's diet. Also, switching to a dog food that does not contain 'corn', seems to help.


Because there is no cure for the Schnauzer comedones or bumps, and the condition persists in varying degrees for the life of your pet - treatment is aimed at managing the condition.

First appearing as small little bumps or a small crusty patch, they grow a bit larger becoming more pronounced.

Most Schnauzer comedones or bumps usually first appear along the backs of Miniature Schnauzers, however these bumps may also appear on their ears, legs, tail, etc... Medicated shampoos containing benzoyl peroxide offer some relief when used on a regular basis.
