Hot spot on a dog |
In veterinary medicine, a "hot spot" (or acute pyoderma, acute moist pyotraumatic dermatitis (AMPD))[1] is one of the many names for a raw, painful, irritated skin lesion that results in and worsens from a pet constantly biting, scratching, chewing, and licking an area of its skin that is irritated or itchy.[2][3][4][5] If it is covered by the dog's hair, the hair holds in the moisture and further irritates it.[5]
It is a patch that appears suddenly and is often bright red, hairless, and scaly looking.[1][3] It may be moist, and when touched it may ooze pus on the surface.[1][3] It may hurt, and feel hot to the touch.[1] A bacterial infection may develop.[1]
As the lesion grows, secondary infection from opportunistic bacteria can occur, causing more discomfort and leading the pet to scratch and chew even more.
Other names include wet eczema,[6] moist eczema, summer sores, acute moist alderman, acute moist dermatitis, pyo traumatic dermatitis, or acute pyo traumatic dermatitis. As the name "summer sores" suggests, the ailment is more common in the summer; however, they can occur at any time of the year. Many pets that develop them have allergies; they are particularly common in pets with flea allergies. However, any sort of irritation to the skin can result in a hot spot.
