It is on his leg and I think it might be parasites in his scrape. I read to put neosporin on it so I did. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Picture?

Neosporin I doubt would protect against parasites if that's what it is. If you think it's parasites, you probably should take him to the vet.

The leg is scraped and you're seeing something like worms in the wound? It would be good to wash the wound first to flush them out if that's what you're seeing.

It is like the pigment has been scraped off and I'm worrid about parasites. No there no "worms." It is more just a scrape but I'm worried that there might be some tufting showing up in the near future and doesn't that imply fungus?

I'm not sure what you mean by "tufting." Are you referring to the white area at what looks like where the leg and body meet?
