Most skin nodules in donkeys are [[Sarcoid - Donkey|'''sarcoids''']]. A few are the result of a
+
'''localised inflammatory response to insect bites''', but this occurs much less
+
frequently than in horses. Other nodular diseases include '''melanoma''' and
+
'''scarring'''. Transient nodules are a feature of '''urticaria'''.
