I'm sorry to hear your dog is having issues with her skin. Lesions like you are describing can be due to allergies, an infection (bacterial or fungal), skin parasites or another underlying medical issue. I would recommend she be evaluated by her regular veterinarian to determine the underlying cause for her skin lesions, have any necessary testing done (skin scrape, culture) and get started in any treatment (antibiotics, anti-itch medication, anti-fungal) that may be needed. Good luck!
