HI, thanks for using Petcoach! Poor Chloe! Thanks for the pictures they were helpful! It looks like Chloe has a skin infection based on the pictures. Pit bulls are known for having sensitive skin and allergies. The infection looks wide spread and I recommend you have her seen by your Vet. They will likely send her home with an antibiotic, something to relieve the itching/licking or chewing and possibly a medicated shampoo. If you want to try a shampoo I like the one below. I recommend bathing 2 times per week and let the lather sit on the skin for 10 mins before rinsing. https://www.chewy.com/dog/dp/110817?utm_source=google-product
