Hot spots can be caused by anything that irritates the skin and causes the animal to scratch or continuously lick themselves. Vetericyn Plus® Hot Spot Antimicrobial Hydrogel provides soothing relief to itchy, irritated skin suffering from repeated biting, scratching or licking and is safe to use on sensitive or problematic skin. The Hydrogel also forms a protective barrier over the hot spot, helping to keep it moist and free of irritation which can speed up healing time. For optimal hot spot care, we recommend first cleaning the area with our Vetericyn Plus® Hot Spot Spray and then applying the Hot Spot Antimicrobial Hydrogel.
