Place an e-collar (cone) on Bruno to prevent licking. Keep the area clean and dry. If necessary, wash with an antibacterial soap then dry thoroughly. A sprinkle of plain corn starch can keep the area dry. See your vet if the lesions do not heal. Anything you apply may get licked off or rubbed off when he lays down. Discontinue the supplement. It is possible he may have a sensitivity to one of the ingredients. Discuss allergy testing and food sensitivities with your veterinarian.
