Hello, we live on a remote island in the Philippines. No vet around. Our 1 year old dog has a strange thing on the side of his leg. I any advice?

It looks like an infection or a hot spot. Make sure you keep him from licking it. Also you can give him 1/4 teaspoon of children Benadryl twice a dayto help control the itching. Finally you can try some neosporin and Benadryl spray to see if it will heal. If it doesn't then I would consider trying to find a vet for an exam.
