These look like localized areas of infection and look like they are causing Maddie some discomfort. I would recommend taking Maddie to the vet to be examined. The wounds/areas of infection may need to be clipped and cleaned. She will most likely need to be placed on an antibiotic to help the areas heal as well. If Maddie is very itchy, she may need a medication to help stop the itch so she does not continue to cause these sore areas. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
