My dog has dry black specs on belly, what are they & how to treat?

Question

Hi! I have noticed black specs on my dog's belly. They are dry and do not come off easily if I try to wipe it down. However, sometimes when I do clean the area dirt does come off. I have attached pictures. Please help. Thank you! Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 2 years and 7 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!
