This could be what is called puppy pyoderma which is usually caused by bacterial infection. Sometimes a medicated shampoo bath helps but other times antibiotics are needed from your veterinarian. If the spots do not clear up within a 1 to 2 days, or Storm has any signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, or the rash gets worse then she should be seen by her veterinarian.
