Hi,

You developed scratch by the top of pen while cleang the dog. There may be irritant contact dermatitis with secondary bactetial infection on the scartch area.
There may be itching,oozing and crusting. Take a short course of antibiotics. You may take antihistaminics and steroids in tappering doses. Apply antibiotic cream initially, then apply mild steroid cream. You may be alright. Still, you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
