I am sorry Jasmine has not been feeling well! Typically skin bumps and hair loss is secondary to allergies. The most common type of allergies are food, environmental or flea. I would recommend applying flea prevention every 30 day to help prevent fleas. IT is very typical to see hair loss at the tail base secondary to a flea bite. Also I would recommend taking Jasmine to a vet to make sure she does not need antibiotics to help her skin heal. You can try an over the counter anti histamine or medicated shampoo but it would be best to have a vet visit. I hope that helps and she feels better soon
