My male dog has spots on his genital area. Could it be an infection?

Question

I submitted a question 2 days ago and have not received an answer yet. My dog Rebel has these spots on his genital area. I can get a little bit of them off with either rubbing alcohol or peroxide on a cotton ball but, it's very very little. It's not dirt and the spots are not raised. Though I know this is not life the right name I still lit appreciate an answer as soon as possible as I submitted it over 2 days ago. Thank you!

This presentation could be due to localized spot of skin infection (likely to be caused by bacteria). A check up, appropriate disinfection and possibly antibiotics (oral, topical or in a shampoo formulation) are needed to solve the problem. Disinfection may be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths twice daily for the next 3 days. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid any licking (if any). Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but the forum can be extremely busy and the only way to make sure you will an answer straight back is to request a consultation with one us.
