Skin prob in pup

My boxer gave birth to 2 puppies 2 weeks ago. One of the pups, a white bitch has developed some sort of condition on her back.
She and mum dont seem bothered by it. It looks like a scale on the skin that has tufted the hair together, when this gets wet though, it starts to come away from her skin which looks healthy underneath.
Is it something like cradle cap that babies get and will it clear itself up?

Hi, Lucy,
You are the first breeder of a Boxer litter than I have come across who actually admits to having bred a white puppy!
This sounds like 'scald' on its back. Gentle cleansing and removal of the dead hair should clear it up.

Thanks for the message. i have cleansed and removed it and she looks sooo much better. Thank you very much.
With regards to admitting white boxers, I think almost every breeder has had at least one, we dont mean to, but you dont know what your going to get at the end of the day. I love all my babies and shes gorgeous.
Thanks again
