https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/29278/african-pygmy-hedgehog-ear Hello, This is a 2.5 yr old Hedgehog&#39;s right ear. In good health &amp; rest of skin looks normal. These lesions appeared over a few weeks. They look like &quot;keratin&quot; type ... I wonder should I simply trim them ? Any advice would be gratefully receiveden-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/224816?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 11 Aug 2020 08:52:03 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:06bc6aba-e169-4e1e-a9fd-c08b06c98761Mark Rowland<p>Hello</p> <p>if there are no other signs or quill loss etc then a certain amount of excoriation is within normal limits. You could apply some f10 barrier cream to protect the skin. It has antibacterial and antifingal properties. A husbandry review including diet would be helpful here before you launch into any more diagnostics.&nbsp;<br /><br /></p> <p>Mark</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
