No, those aren't bad at all!!! Diesel's were much, much bigger and more inflamed (and a larger area of them) when we first got him as a foster.
After compresses, and yes, picking, it looks SOOOOO much better. The infected ones are gone, and so are all of the really nasy big black ones. I can rub his belly and it doesn't feel like a gravel pit anymore!!
Sully didn't have any when he came,and still doesn't, so he's never been picked at.
