How can you get rid of hotspots under your arm/side?Hot spots?
I don't know what you mean by hot spots... unless you are talking about your dog.
Also known as Summer Sores or Moist Eczema, Hot Spots can seemingly appear spontaneously anywhere on a dog's body and the area involved can rapidly spread.
This moist, raw skin disorder has a variety of causes but the most consistent factor is bacteria.
There are a number of kinds of bacteria that can be cultured from a ';hot spot'; and fortunately most respond to oral and topical antibiotics.
Anything that irritates or breaks the skin can create the environment for bacterial contamination if the skin surface has just a bit of moisture on it.
That moisture can be present from a recently given bath, from swimming or being out in the rain, from rolling in wet grass or even from a slightly oozing sore that provides nutrients for bacteria.
