My Golden Doodle has skin issues and nipple discharge. What to do?

Question

My 8 year old golden doodle had sticky, iff-white discharge when you squeeze her nipples and black dirt or something embedded in her skin. She also has circular skin discoloration that fall off and leave bald spots sometimes coated with green goo. Is there anything I can do to help her from home. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 8 years and 5 months old | 73 lbs

Unfortunately her skin looks very inflamed and infected where the skin is crusting and falling off, it doesn't look particularly superficial so you will need to take her to the vet to get medication to treat this. The breed is predisposed to allergies that cause weakness in the skin barrier so I suspect she may have allergic skin which is getting secondary infection. The black bits are comedones essentially black heads. The nipple discharge could be due to her being in false pregnancy so I would ask the vet to check this too.
