Why Do Hot Spots Occur? Anything that irritates the skin and causes a dog to scratch or lick himself can start a hot spot. Hot spots can be caused by allergic reactions, insect, mite or flea bites, poor grooming, underlying ear or skin infections and constant licking and chewing prompted by stress or boredom.
A hot spot, also known as acute moist dermatitis, is a localized skin infection that is hot, moist and devoid of all hair. These spots are usually quite painful, and many dogs will lick or bite the spot, sometimes to the point of self-mutilation, which in turn causes greater inflammation.ometimes these are the result of allergies, but they usually are caused by a staph infection or by a fungus. Other causes can include: 1  Mites, fleas or insect bites. 2  Infected scratches. 3  Poor grooming.
