Roxy has this happen too.

*Something* makes them itch (ie: allergies to food or the environment, dust, pollen, fragrance and dyes in soaps and detergents are the most popular) the intense itching causes their skin the break and allow bacteria on the skin level causing those pimples and puss and scabs, this is a Staph Infection, don't get freaked, it is very common and not dangerous as you think, but most do need a round of antib's to clear it up and you also should try to find the root of the problem if you can....This isn't contagious either.
