Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This looks like an infection of the skin and Stella will likely need antibiotics to get this to clear up. I would recommend you take her to your vet for an exam. In the meantime, you can apply Neosporin (or something similar) to the affected areas twice a day.
