Hello, sorry to hear about Cece. This could be consistent with a local bacterial infection. However, other causes may include things such as parasites, allergies, and ringworm. You should consider having your veterinarian look at the area rule out any of the causes for this rash. This may include obtaining a skin sample and fur for cytology and culture. In the interim, you can put on a shirt so that she does not lick or scratch it excessively as this can lead to worsening of the rash. Hope this helps and best of luck.
