What you are describing could be a localized skin infection. You can use Sentry Wound Topical Ointment, which you can find at PetCo and apply twice daily to see if this helps. If there is no improvement or other areas become affected by the same thing I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Sadie so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
