Hi, thanks for the thoughts for sandy. I took him to the vet and the lump 
was a cyst caused by a blocked hair follacle. My vet is great with pigs, it 
had started to burst she pocked it and it burst properly. I took some food 
for Sandy and fed him all the time she was dealing with it, and he didnt 
whimper or struggle. he was so good. She took it all off she was so gentle.
           Now its smooth just like a scraze, i have to bathe it twice a day 
with warm salt water for 5 days. I did it today and he just sat still he is 
such a good pig.
         The gland bit was a bit mucky she trimmed round it and cleaned it. 
And he didnt have mites or anything. Where hes bonde he was just a bit dirty 
from the cyst.
       So i was pleased not as bad as i thought.
           Carole and a bumpless Sandy(although hes blonde, my husband 
wouldnt let me call him Blondie)
