French Bulldog puppy has spots & chafed hair on mouth. What is it?

Question

Greetings, I have a blue french bulldog puppy around 7 months old. I have noticed some spots appearing on his mouth area and almost looks as if the hair is shaffing. Not to sure what it is, when I put pressure on those spots, there seems to be no pain. I will attach photos to see if there is any advice reagarding what is seen. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 8 months and 15 days old | 25 lbs

Breeds like French Bulldogs, Boxers and English Bulldogs are prone to skin abnormalities around their muzzles. They can have issues with acne, infected hair follicles, ingrown hairs and sometimes even allergies. Jack has some pretty big lesions so I recommend to have him checked out by his veterinarian as he may need systemic medication to address inflammation and possibly infection. Talk to the doctor about topical treatment that you can provide on a routine basis. Keeping his muzzle clean and dry will also help to prevent this moving forward. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions!
