Skin pigmentation can indicate irritation. You can try washing the area daily with soap and rinsing well. You can also add an omega 3 fatty for dogs to Ella’s diet and this may help after a few weeks. If it gets worse, have Ella seen by her veterinarian. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
