My puppy has small scab-like spots on her head and arm. What to do?

Question

Small scab looking spots on head and arm: Head spot appeared two days after 2nd Revolution topical for 20lb+ when she hit 20.3 lbs. The arm spot developed a few days later. Initially the head spot was a little bloody as though she banged her head on something (we're building a deck), or I thought as a reaction to the medicine. She also has reddish (not really bumpy) spots under her legs. I've had her a month and did notice the reddish spot when she arrived. Vet didn't comment on reddish spots. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 4 months and 26 days old | 21 lbs

I don't think that I would be overly worried about these at this time. I highly doubt these lesions are related to the Revolution. I suggest you just monitor these for now and if they don't resolve or worsen then get her back to your vet for an exam. They could just be scrapes. If you want to apply a thin layer of Neosporin to them for the next few days you can do that. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
