Why does my dog have crusty scabby bumps on her neck and shoulders?

Question

Hi. My dog has these little bumps around her neck and shoulder. She’s had them for a couple days now. They’re starting to get crusty and scabby. What do you think it is? Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 8 months old | 45 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This looks like a focal infection. You can try to use a medicated shampoo containing chlorhexidine twice weekly for 2 weeks. If there is no improvement or in the meantime this appears to be getting worse, have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good night!
