Hot spots on dogs, otherwise known as pyotraumatic dermatitis or moist dermatitis, tend to form on dogs when a dog keeps on scratching, licking or chewing at a skin lesion which may have been brought about by mites, ticks, insect bite or sting, fleas, allergies, or a skin wound. Hot spots on a dog could also begin as a self-inflicted lesion when a dog gets bored or is experiencing some form of stress. When a dog does not get regular grooming or if it has a really matted hair coat, the dog has higher risks of developing some hot spots.
Hot spots can happen to any kind of dog but it is usually typical on long-haired breeds or those breeds that have thick hair coats. If a dog is suffering from a really bad form of matted hair coat, the hot spot might be hidden on such a hair coat and therefore the hot spot would go unnoticed for a long time.
