strange patches in English bulldog puppy

Salve, la mia cucciola di bulldog inglese di 5 mesi è piena di queste "placche" non pruriginose da circa 2-3 mesi. adesso. Inizialmente (un mese fa) venivano curati come funghi con regolare terapia antimicotica e antibiotica ma niente, anzi sembrano essere aumentati (inizialmente sono puntini rossi di mezzo centimetro che poi tendono ad allargarsi), ne ha anche uno nell'orecchio interno e alcuni nei genitali.. mi hanno detto di aspettare metà gennaio per fare l'esame istologico. Non so se ti è mai capitato un caso del genere ed è davvero avvilente non avere una diagnosi o ipotizzare brutte patologie come "mastocitomi", "epidermolisi bollosa", ecc. Grazie in anticipo se puoi suggerire qualcosa AUTOTRANSLATE: Hi, my 5 month old English bulldog puppy has been full of these non-itchy "plaques" for about 2-3 months. Now. Initially (a month ago) they were treated like mushrooms with regular antifungal and antibiotic therapy but nothing, in fact they seem to have increased (initially they are red dots of half a centimeter which then tend to widen), he also has one in the inner ear and some in the genitals .. they told me to wait until mid-January to do the histological exam. I don't know if you've ever had a case like this and it's really disheartening not to have a diagnosis or to hypothesize bad pathologies such as "mast cell tumors", "epidermolysis bullosa", etc. Thanks in advance if you can suggest anything

Hello.  I'm afraid that I don't know either. I can hear your frustration with the long-worded differential (meaning possible, in this context) diagnosis.  Science tends to think that it looks more scientific if it speaks in Latin or Greek and so a lot of obscure skin diseases are thus named.  If diseases get more common, they tend to acquire a second name (just as 'Corona Virus' became 'Covid.')   But let's put the emphasis on what you really want to know: 1) will your dog be safe if they wait for (what, three now?) weeks to find out what is causing these lesions? 2) Do they actually know that? 3) Could someone else give you a better answer in a shorter time? If these are the questions that you want answered, I think it is absolutely fine to ask them.  When we are asked the third, we tend to prefer different terminology, such as:  'Are you able to get a second opinion for me?' Or 'If you refer this case for me today, will a dermatologist triage it in case there is more work that needs to be done in the short-term, because three weeks seems to be a very long time.' I hope that this helps.  

Ps I would love to know what the diagnosis turns out to be, if it's something that you feel able to share.  I have lots of differentials -possibities - in my head, from demodex to lymphona, and would be fascinated to find out the correct answer.
