Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Boomer. These spots can be due to a bacterial infection, fungal infection, mite infection, etc. I would advise getting some benzoyl peroxide shampoo from your local pet store. Bathe Boomer with this shampoo, lather it up good especially on the affected areas, leave the lather on for 10 minutes, then rinse really well. I would bathe only once weekly right now and see if these lesions don't resolve. You can just do spot bathes also to prevent having to bathe his whole body. If this condition doesn't resolve, I would advise that you take Boomer to your vet. Your vet can examine Boomer and recommend a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck
