My dog has come out with 3 spots almost like a moist wound spot on his back leg and back of neck and am not sure what it is. We have added a soft mattres to his bed and applied some antiseptic cream but am not sure what else could do

The spot in the picture looks infected, it will need to be clipped and treated with antibiotics. he will also need to wear an e-collar in order to prevent him from licking the area and making it worse. i would recommend taking him to the vet in order to get it treated.
