Hello, sorry to hear about Faith. Those appear like collarettes secondary to superficial skin infection. If faith has known allergies, this could the the cause of the collarettes. However, other potential diagnosis could be associated with ring worm, fleas or mites which seem to be less likely. Your veterinarian may offer to obtain a sample of her skin to look for bacteria, mites or parasites that would warrant medical management. Hope this helps and best of luck
