Hot Spots & Moist Skin Lesions (Dog)Updated 6 days ago

Gentle relief for irritated, moist skin. 💚

Hot spots appear suddenly – one small itch turns into a moist, inflamed area. Doderm helps calm the skin, reduce irritation, and support natural healing.


How to recognise a hot spot

  • Red, moist patch of skin

  • Dog licks or scratches the same spot

  • Hair loss around the lesion

  • Warm or smelly skin area

Common in dogs with thick coats or in humid weather.


Step by step: How to care for hot spots

1️⃣ Clean gently
Trim hair around the area for airflow. Rinse with lukewarm water or mild shampoo, then pat dry.

2️⃣ Apply SOS Hydro RepairGel
A thin layer 2–3× daily soothes, cools & supports regeneration.

3️⃣ After 1–2 days:
Switch to Hydro RepairGel Pet to strengthen the skin barrier.

4️⃣ Be consistent:
Continue until the area is dry and healed.


Why Doderm works so well

  • Soothing: Colostrum & plant actives calm irritation.

  • Hydrating: Hyaluronic acid & ceramides restore moisture.

  • Gentle: Free from cortisone, alcohol & fragrance.

  • Breathable: Allows the skin to heal naturally.

💚 Result: Redness and oozing subside, the skin looks calm & healthy again.


Common questions

How long does healing take?
Usually 3–7 days with regular use.

Should I cover the spot?
Only if your dog keeps licking it – otherwise keep it open to air.

Can I use Doderm preventively?
Yes, especially for dogs prone to hot spots during humid seasons.


When to see your vet

  • If the area becomes infected or oozing pus

  • If fever, pain or lethargy occur

  • If hot spots keep recurring

Large or recurrent hot spots should be examined by a vet.
