Hi my names Caitlin my dog is a pit mix she has three booster looking things on her stomach, under her neck, and her arm pit area. I don't know what to do I've tried everything. She acts fine still eats and drinks. She full of energy but I know it hurts her.

Poor Jaiden! It appears that these areas of skin are infected, based on the greenish discharge and redness I can see in the photos. I would recommend taking her to the vet for an exam as soon as you're able to, since she will need prescription antibiotics to treat the infection.
