I couldn't get a pic because he is sensitive to the area and wouldn't let me lift up his back leg, so i got a pic that look like the thing he has. Thanks. he is a yellow lab 8 years old around 100 pounds. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 100 lbs

Poor Guy! It looks like he has a skin infection and/or an allergic dermatitis. His skin is very red and inflamed so he should be treated by a vet. He may need an antibiotic, antihistamine, and/or a corticosteroid to help treat and your vet can prescribe. I am sure he is very sensitive and painful in that area so please call your vet and have him examined as soon as possible to get him some relief.
