do they look like little red pimple with a pinpoint of pus in them? then once they are drying up turns into a spot where the skin starts to peel slightly? hugo is allergic to salmon and tuna and this is what he does if he eats these foods. it could be a food allergy, could be demodectic mange, could be flea bites, could be contact dermatitis. you can spray some hydrocortizone on them or even try some listerine-full strength-which kills bacteria. i have cured many a booboo by a few days spraying of the "harsh stuff". it really does not burn the skin like it does the mouth.
