I have a question regarding a 'pimple' on my GR's ear. She is a puppy. Previously she was on medication and anti-biotic because of her itchy skin. Just finished her 3rd jab 2 weeks ago.
I found this 'pimple' (or issit a lump???) on the tip of her ear a few weeks ago. Initially I thought it's an insect bite or something, as she is an outdoor dog. She never scratch on it, and it doesn't seem like she is pain whenever I touch it. There is only one on her body, and she has been active and energetic as usual.
I am not sure how to load photos here, so I have loaded on my own server, and here is a link to the photo:

I read from some articles on the internet which mentioned that drugs may cause this kinda thing on a dog's skin. I remember she got this when she was still on the medication and antibiotic. Do you think this may be the cause?
I am a bit reluctant to go back to the vet, because he always suggest that I put my dog on antibiotic and other forms of drugs. He would even 'lecture' me if I told him that I prefer not to and would appreciate any other alternative ways. So if anyone of you had any experience with this, would very much appreciate to have any feedback on this.
