I noticed this sore on my puppy’s neck. He’s a Siberian Husky. He’s 3 months old. I’ve tried to treat it with hydrogen peroxide and neosporen. It was starting to heal but he keeps scratching it at night.

This looks pretty badly infected, i would recommend stopping with the treatment you mentioned and take him to the vet in order to get it treated, he will likely need a course of antibiotics, hydrogen peroxide will make it worse.
