Pimple-Like Rash on Dog's Abdomen: Causes and Veterinary Guidance

Common Causes

• Allergic dermatitis (food, environmental, contact)
• Bacterial pyoderma (Staphylococcus)
• Fungal/yeast infection (Malassezia)
• Parasites (fleas, mites)
• Folliculitis

Action Plan

1. Veterinary exam for diagnosis (skin scrape, cytology, culture, allergy testing).
2. Review diet/environment for triggers.
3. Medicated shampoos/topicals as prescribed.
4. Prevent self-trauma (E-collar if needed).

Do not use human medications without veterinary direction.
