Poor Riddick! Unfortunately, this looks like it is infected. You can try some benadryl and neosporin twice a day. See link below for benadryl dosing. I would not let him lick it. You can put a cone collar on him to prevent this. If he licks it, it will never heal. If you aren't seeing much improvement, I would have your vet take a look at him. Your vet will be able to start him on oral antibiotics and stronger allergy meds like steroids if needed. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl
