Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Based on the pictures you have provided, I would suspect that Princess is suffering from a skin allergy, skin infection or skin parasite infection. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine her so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. The veterinarian can check her skin for skin parasites and see if there is a bacterial or fungal infection as well. If you are unable to get to a veterinarian right away, I would recommend the below products, which can be found online quite easily. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. 1. Welactin omega 3 fish oil capsules for dogs 2. Douxo PS Chlorhexidine combination shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved 3. Douxo PS Calm mousse and apply once daily until resolved 4. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the affected areas twice daily until resolved 5. Essential 6 spot on by Dermoscent and apply as directed
