I would recommend having Tallulah examined by a vet. The wounds in the picture look like they may be infected. Her skin disease could be caused by a deep bacterial or fungal infection, autoimmune disease, allergies, parasites, etc. The vet may need to treat the infection first to be able to determine what is the cause at a later vet appointment.
