Pyotraumatic dermatitis is caused by self-inflicted trauma to the skin. It results when your dog scratches or licks an itchy lesion (or chews a painful spot) and then consequentially a bacterial infection develops on the surface at the site of constant scratching\/licking\/chewing\/rubbing. Most of the time, there is a specific underlying issue that triggers your dog to create a hot spot, such as flea bites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eTrue hot spots are patches of bald red skin that weep and may be eroded (they look moist\/wet). They may even smell bad. They are very itchy and that is why your dog finds it very hard to leave the spot alone.
