This could be a hot spot (moist dermatitis), but you would need to have Harley physically examined by your veterinarian for confirmation and treatment. This typically involves clipping the area, scrubbing then dispensing either topical or systemic medication (antibiotics, anti-inflammatories). An e-collar (cone) should be used to prevent rubbing or scratching until the spot is healed.
