yeah, that's what I've always heard them called. They are normally caused from an allergic reaction or a bacterial infection. It usually starts as a small spot and sometimes spreads..hair can fall out and the spot can get red, raw, and itchy. Rylie's is probably no bigger than a dime right now...it's just a little red and feels like a bump...he's not scratching it or anything so I'm hoping it'll go away on it's own. For now, I've cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide and will probably do that a couple times a day and just keep an eye on it.
