My 10 year old German Shepard needs help!

my 10 yr old german shepard has two bright red spots on her arm. it looks painful, and she scratches/licks them a lot. i’ve tried using peroxide and antiboitic ointment, but it’s gotten worse, and has started to bleed.

what’s wrong? what should i do?

update:

i only used peroxide twice before finding out it’s bad for dogs.

the spots are getting better, but she still has scabs on her back / irritated skin / excessive shedding.

i can’t pay for it, my mom or dad have to, and my mom’s being a ***** and saying she’s fine just because she doesn’t want to have to pay for it or take her. i’m still pretty worried :(

she has a skin condition. a bad one. possibly mange, which is seriously bad for dogs and can lead to death.
not to mention the amount of pain and discomfort she is in. can you imagine how uncomfortable that is?
make an appointment, take her to vet yourself, and get the bill sent to your parents. then they have to pay it and shes been treated.
or ring the vet, tell them the symptoms, and that your mother wont bring her in. they will take action to ensure she gets treatment.
YOU CANNOT JUST IGNORE THIS
