I noticed a sore under my dog's neck and upon further examination a cluster of scabs. What could cause this? She's a 6 year old bulldog mix

She could have a bacterial skin infection which could be related to an allergy. You could bathe her with a medicated dog shampoo and see if that helps. She may need an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory and your vet could prescribe.
