Acute Moist Dermatitis

ACUTE MOIST DERMATITIS

Acute Moist Dermatitis is often called “Hot Spots.” This condition causes a very painful, inflamed area of skin, usually with a bad discharge and odor. It is thought to be an allergic reaction to a bacterial skin infection. Lesions often spread RAPIDLY to surrounding skin.

Underlying causes of this condition often involve flea bites, inflamed anal glands, ear infection, or other injuries to the skin.

These lesions then become infected by bacteria found on the normal hair. Normal , healthy skin is usually very resistant to this condition until the skin is somehow damaged.r
