If your dog suddenly starts scratching, licking, or chewing a specific patch of skin, he might have a condition known as acute moist dermatitis. This is frequently marked by ‘hot spots,’ which are red, inflamed areas that can become wet or crusty quickly. While dog hot spot oozing looks scary—and smells unpleasant—it is ultimately treatable. In fact, most dogs recover quickly with professional hot spot treatment at the vet.
