Ive seen several like that. As novatrapper1 said I think that from fighting...probably that occurs during breeding. My guess is the darker marks are older bites.

Roy did you find any bbs? Some of those spots look like bb trauma plus a couple like you fleshed bbs of hide taking fat off.

Those look like tick bites. That’s what I’m thinking.

I've never seen a tick on an otter and my otter live in tick country. There is a type of spotting that I believe is genetic. Sometime when I get the energy I'll share a photo. But what I see in this pic appears to be old scars. I never see otters fight but females do get bit up on the neck during the rut.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
