Hello. It looks like Penny is having an allergic reaction to something. Bathing her in cool water using a colloidal oatmeal based shampoo should be soothing & help the skin to heal. You can repeat this daily if necessary to control her symptoms. If this gets any worse, do see your veterinarian for further treatment recommendations. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
