Small skin infections are actually common in puppies. Make sure he stays clean and wipe the area with soap and water or give him a good bath at least once a week. continue with the antibiotic ointment as this can help and most go away as puppies grow up. If it continues to spread or bothers her then you will need to have her checked by your vet for further treatment
