My Parson Russell had a skin infection and it healed via topical cream, yet he still has some suspicious areas - bathed in medicated shampoo as well.

These lesions may be in the healing process. Keep an eye on them for a few days, if they aren't getting better or seem to be spreading, have Curtis re-examined by the vet. He may need a biopsy to figure out what the active process is.
