Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bentley. If the white areas are flat and not bothering him, this can be seen as the infection resolves. If the areas are itchy, painful or bumpy, then he should see his veterinarian again. If they are not bothering him, I suspect the areas will fade. I hope this information helps!
