Many dogs who suffer the trauma of allergies lick and scratch their way through spring, summer and autumn, requiring regular visits to the vet for treatment. Pyohex is vet recommended to reduce microbial populations on the skin that lead to the pustules, thickening and redness associated with allergies. For dogs who traumatise their skin through licking and chewing, a hotspot can come up within a few hours. This pyoderma is usually due to a staphylococcal infection on the skin.

Common appearances of bacterial infections:

• Pimples
• Circular rings of scale or redness (as larger pimples pop and leave ‘rings’ of skin damage)
• Moist areas of skin commonly referred to as hotspots
