Poor Maui. His skin looks very inflamed and uncomfortable. This could be an allergy, inflammation, infection, or even a more serious skin problem. I think it is best for him to see a veterinarian as he likely needs oral medication and antibiotics to resolve the issue. Do not allow him to lick or chew the area.
