what about sudocrem? That might be better than germolene? or bepanthen?

If its got taller it could have granulated which would mean a vet trip. I will see if I can find a link for you to compare with

Having trouble finding a link Basically a Granuloma is where the wound heals to much so the scar tissue builds up and grows high. It can be caused by licking the wound. Its not serious so dont worry if it is that.
