Why does my puppy have pink spots with dark centers and a scab on her belly?

Question

My puppy has pink circle spots on her belly that are dark in the centre. Today, I also saw she has now a possible scab, I’m not sure what it is. She hasn’t bled, it’s not crusty or oozing any pus. She’s also not itchy or excessively licking. What could it be? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 11 months old | 66 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sasha. I suspect she has a mild superficial skin infection starting on her belly. I would start by bathing her twice per week with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula. This may take care of it as it appears mild. If the lesions spread or do not resolve, she will need to see her veterinarian. Skin infections can be due to an allergy, irritation or parasites. I hope this information helps!
