Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is very difficult to give advice on something like this without seeing at least a photo and more information is needed for us to be helpful. Can you please post again with photos and more information like how long has this been going on, is she indoors or outdoors, is she on flea prevention, is she scratching it making it bleed or bleeds spontaneously? How old is she? Is she spayed? Thank you.
