A 'hot spot' on your pet is actually an inflammation that is caused by the animal's constant scratching and licking at an area until the area becomes bald. It can be caused by several factors, but primarily it's flea-related. If left untreated, it can develop into a bacterial infection requiring an antibiotic ointment.
To treat it yourself, try and clean the area with a gentle anti-bacterial soap, or if you need to get it clean quickly, dab a cotton ball (soaked in an antiseptic solution) on the area.
To dry out the area, use 'Burow's solution' (available from your local pharmacy) and spray it on gently, three times a day.
Hydrocortisone cream, also from the pharmacy, can be applied twice daily to reduce the swelling. Vitamin E gel and aloe plant extract can promote quick healing of the area.
