Acute Moist Dermatitis, or sometimes referred to as Hot Spots can be caused by a number of factors, the most common being bacteria build up and dead skin growth on the outer skin layer which then causes infections and hot spots. Adding to this, pets lacking proper levels of zinc in their skin as more prone these skin problems. The hot spots is typically painful and accompanies shedding, open sores, and an area where your dog will lick and scratch excessively. These skin irritations can occur on most parts of the body, although typically they appear on the belly, legs, ears, and around the paws. They can also spread quickly to other areas. Specific breeds with thick hair coats often experience dermatitis and hot spots when shedding begins and the dead hair builds up causing these skin infections. Dirty and matted coats can also lead to infections. Additionally skin parasites such as scabies, mites and fleas can cause skin damage which leads to canine hot spots. Lastly, some dogs have genetic conditions such as weak immune systems which will cause sometimes constant skin problems and moist dermatitis.

The first step in clearing the irritation is to make sure the coat and skin are clean and free from build up, bacteria, or dead skin that can lead to further spreading on the skin.

Lastly, SkinPlex Enzymes will strengthen and repair damaged skin cells and membranes and boost the dog's immune system which is responsible for protecting against a hot spot.

A few things to remember: If the condition worsens take your pet to the veterinarian as the problem may be more than hot-spots. Also, in humid areas always dry your dog well to avoid damp areas laying on the dog's skin for large amounts of time. If your dog is constantly licking and biting the infected skin area be sure to use a bitenot collar to keep them from further spreading the damage on the skin.
