SOLUTION HS: DAMP HEAT Topical Powder
WHY CHOOSE IT
Red, moist, itchy hot spots or skin fold dermatitis: “Hot spot” is the lay term for acute moist dermatitis. They are common in dogs but not so common in cats. They are caused by self-inflicted trauma to the skin (pyotraumatic dermatitis) when your dog constantly scratches/licks/chews/rubs a spot that itches or hurts. Most of the time, there is a specific underlying issue that triggers your dog to create a hot spot, such as flea bites.
Hot spots are well-defined, usually bald patches of red skin that weep and may be eroded (they look moist/wet) or may have golden yellow crusting. They may even smell bad. They are very itchy and that is why your dog finds it very hard to leave the spot alone. When hot spots appear wet or they weep fluid, SOLUTION HS: DAMP HEAT Topical Powder can be helpful to absorb that exudate, so the skin has a better chance to heal.
SOLUTION HS: DAMP HEAT Topical Powder would also be appropriate for to support pets with impetigo or intertrigo (skin fold dermatitis) if the skin in the folds appears wet or weeps fluid. Skin fold dermatitis is a big problem in brachycephalic dogs and dogs with corkscrew tails and jowly lips, such as French bulldogs, bulldogs, pugs, Shar-Peis, mastiffs, blood hounds, basset hounds, Pekingese. **
