Mico & skin woes

Poor Mico. Have been itchy for at least a month. she has been having itchy pimples, sometimes with pus about 3 times. the 1st 2 times, i applied aloe vera gel and put her on e-collar. The red angry pimples subsidied after about 3 days while some raw wounds into scabs, which meant that her skin was healing. Before they could fully heal, a new bout of pimples would appear & she would scratch them as well as the old wounds.

Today is the 3rd bout of pimples. Wondering what could trigger the allergy. I do not want to bring her to the vet and unsubject her to any unnecessary medicine. I need to find out the source of allergy to lessen her itch. Would have to monitor her diet. Suspect that she may be allergic to sand.

I vaguely recalled bringing to the East Coast Park for a walk along the beach after which the 1st bout of pimples occured.

Yesterday, we were at Sentosa. Diet was Canidae lamb kibbles & Bow Wow mixed snacks. Nothing else.
