My dog has a scaly blue scab on her paw. What can I do to help?

Pet's info: Dog | Cavachon | Female | spayed | 7 years and 10 months old | 22 lbs

Just recently collected my dog after coming back of holiday from my friends and noticed she has a scaly blue tone scab near her thumb on one of her paws. I’m guessing it’s just a scab where she has grazed herself. Is there anything I can do to help it? Thanks

Hello. Right now everything looks very quiet, I see no evidence of infection or irritation. Just keep an eye on the area & if you see her chewing or licking at the area, it is best to see your vet. Right now, it looks fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
