Black Spots on Mare's Nipple

[stalliontamer]

There are small black spots on my mare's nipples. They are mostly at the base of the nipple. At first I thought they were specs of dirt so I used hydrogen peroxide to clean it. Nothing came off. Next I gave her a bath because maybe soap and water would wash it off. Once again, the spots were still there. I tried rubbing it gently with hydrogen peroxide again, which made some of the skin came off. She didn't seem to be in pain but I am concerned it might be ticks or some other parasite. Does anyone happen to know what this could be? She's due for a vet check up in 3 weeks but I may take her in sooner if this is something to be concerned about.

Thanks

Hello.

Is this your wife, horse or daughter you are talking about?

If this is your daughter, I would wish to view this myself.
