I would recommend taking Snow White to a veterinarian.

This can be anything from a bacterial infection to a fungal infection (like ringworm). They can take a woods lamp (it is like a black light) to see if it glows green. If it does it is ringworm, if it does not it still could be. Only 50% of all ringworm shows up positive with this test. Your veterinarian will prescribe medication to help resolve the lesions.

I hope Snow White feels better soon and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
