Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Based on the photos you have provided and description, I suspect that Stuart may be dealing with what we call superficial bacterial pyoderma, which is a skin infection. I would recommend treating with the below recommended products, all of which can be found online quite easily.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. 1.

Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the affected areas twice daily until resolved.
