This appears suspicious for some type of deep skin infection (bacterial, yeast, or a mite). The only way to know for sure is to have your local veterinarian do an evaluation and take a skin sample. Depending on the results, your vet can prescribe an appropriate treatment. Sometimes a biopsy is needed if the cause is not apparent on basic skin testing or if standard treatments are not effective.
