Question Boxer with bleeding/round circles on top nose

At first we thought our 3 year old boxer, Layla had just been bit playing with our other boxer. She has sores on the bridge of her nose that are very round and continue to grow in size. The sores bleed. We tried a Triple Antibiotic and the other boxer licks Layla's nose. Any idea what Layla could have or how to treat? If worsens, definitely heading to vet, but wondered if you had seen anything like this. Thanks!

How long has she had the sores? Could you post a pic of them?

Definitely take her to the vet if they don't improve quickly. The fact that they're still growing in size is troublesome.

We had a case of follliculitis a while back (http://www.pets.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=48242). If any of the lesions look like any in the thread, get her in to a vet asap--it came on overnight and lasted for weeks. Very nasty stuff...
