First, you would need to have the underlying condition diagnosed. This could be a bacterial, fungal or parasite (fleas or mites) infection. A physical exam with your veterinarian is required to make the diagnosis. Once you have this information, the appropriate treatment can be administered. Any treatment will depend on the diagnosis but may include systemic and/or topical treatments. In the meantime, use an e-collar (cone) to prevent licking or chewing and make sure Rex is on a monthly flea preventive to rule out fleas.
