This could be an allergy or a bacterial skin infection or a fungus. You will need to take Scotty to your vet for an exam, a clip, clean and disinfect of the affected skin. Your vet will prescribe medications depending on the diagnosis. This could be a medicated shampoo, oral antibiotics, or anti-fungal medicine' Please make an appointment with your veterinarian.
