It looks like Piper may have a superficial skin infection. This can be caused by many things, but the most common cause is allergies. She could also have skin mites or something less common. I'd recommend giving her a bath and making sure she's really dry afterwards, and then if they keep getting worse or don't go away, it's time for a vet visit.
