A female, non-spayed pug has multiple skin abscesses in the ears, forehead, neck, left armpit and parts of the body. The pug had recovered from ringworm in the left armpit area but new rashes had appeared.  Could this be an auto-immune disease?  Generalised pustular dermatitis due to bacteria and mites? The chin had folliculitis? Contact dermatitis with the plastic feed bowl? Anti-fungal shampoo was said to be poured into the ear canals by the mother during bathing last time. 

The dog has infections in the roots of the hairs. Ciprobay antibiotics and anti-inflammatory is being given. After 3 days, the pimples had subsided.

UPDATE
As at Sep 3, 2015, the pug did recover after a few visits. However no hairs grow. However, skin lumps appear on the face again and the paws are itchy. As at 2019, the pug is relatively free from folliculitis.
