My French bulldog has crusty bumps and scabs all over. What is it?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 4 years and 4 months old | 27 lbs

I’m dog sitting a French bulldog for a couple of months and I’ve noticed these bumps developing under his fur, when I look under his fur some have dry crusty bloody scabs, some have a weird grey color and are crusty. They seem to be all over his body, legs, torso and I’ve noticed a couple of scabs on his head. His appetite, energy and bathroom usage is normal. He doesn’t even scratch a lot. What could it be?

It looks like Banjo has a skin infection. These are usually bacterial in nature, but sometimes it can be from a fungus or yeast. Banjo should see a veterinarian for an exam and treatment. This will likely consist of a medicated shampoo and an oral antibiotic. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
