It looks like Abby has some hyperpigmentation on her belly. This can be caused by any sort of inflammation, usually allergies. The blister looks like a pustule so she may have a mild skin infection. If she has been itchy I would take her to the vet so they can get her on an appropriate medication. You can also try a medicated shampoo to see if that helps as well. Good luck!
