Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be something like a focal infection. You can try to use a medicated shampoo containing chlorhexidine twice weekly for 2 weeks. If there is no improvement or in the meantime this appears to be getting worse, have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good day!

My 2-year-old Dachshund has a belly rash near her nipples. What is it?
Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This looks like an infection of the skin and Stella will likely need antibiotics to get this to clear up. I would recommend you take her to your vet for an exam. In the meantime, you can apply Neosporin (or something similar) to the affected areas twice a day.

My puppy has yellow blisters on its belly. Is it a skin infection?
Your puppy may have puppy impetigo which is a bacterial skin infection. Have your vet take a look at her to diagnose and treat. She may need an antibacterial shampoo and/or an oral antibiotic to treat.
