These could be localized skin infection in these areas. They can be bacterial or fungal in nature. An allergic component cannot be ruled out. Ideally, Ma should be physically examined by your veterinarian to diagnose and treat the underlying cause. Keep the areas clean and dry. Discuss allergy testing, hydrolyzed diets, food elimination trials and antihistamine use with your veterinarian. If you use a plastic food or water bowl, consider switching to ceramic or stainless steel.
