Bee’s skin lesions could be due to many things including the heat, allergies or a bacterial infection. You can wash the areas daily and rinse them well. You must make sure he does not lick the areas as this will make it worse (an elizabethan collar can prevent this). An omega 3 fatty acid supplement for dogs can help as well. If the lesions don’t get much better in a week or get worse, have him seen by his veterinarian. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
