Hello there and thank you for using Pet Coach! Based on the photo you provided, it looks as if there are several areas of small patchy hair loss with a bump raised in one area. This could be due to hives / allergies, skin infection, skin mites, etc. I would have your vet take a look at this so that a diagnosis can be made and the most appropriate treatment initiated. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via text / phone consultation if needed.
