Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Ideally yes. This may be due to a skin infection which is usually treated by a veterinarian. I highly recommend that you have Ferdie evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. If an infection is noted, treatment can be pursued. Good luck and have a great day!
