Piper could have a resistant bacterial infection, chronic irritation leading to an infection/whiteheads or even a type of mite. Sometimes keeping the area clean and preventing any trauma such as rubbing or pawing at the area is helpful. Other times prescription strength medication is needed from your veterinarian.
