Hot spots, known by your veterinarian as “moist dermatitis”, are patches of skin with bacterial infections. They are generally caused by a combination of two factors: a break in the skin and moist conditions.
CBD balm may help to relieve some of the itchiness and discomfort associated with the hot spot, and this can help reduce their desire to itch or lick it.
"My dog Cooper has skin issues and gets red and itchy from laying in the grass. Then he scratches until he has a raw scab covered belly. This topical CBD has been a miracle."
How to Use CBD Balm for Dog Hot Spots
Apply CBD balm to your dog's hot spot area once the skin has healed and it's no longer an open wound. It's likely that the area is still itchy and inflamed, and the balm can help to relieve some of that discomfort.
- If your dog has not yet created an open hot spot, apply the balm to the affected area. Most dog balms are made with ingredients that are safe for dogs to lick. This is the case for Lolahemp's topical balm for dogs.
- The key goal is to reduce your dog's desire to itch the area.
- By helping to soothe itchy skin and boost skin health, a CBD balm made from full-spectrum hemp oil can promote the healing of dry areas.
- In turn, this can help prevent your canine companion from damaging the area with excessive itching or licking which can be a major cause of hot spots in many dogs.
If you have a dog that is prone to hot spots, work with your veterinarian to see where CBD may fit in as part of an overall focus on skin health.
Acute Moist Dermatitis: Should I See My Vet?
Yes, particularly if you are dealing with treating hot spots on dogs for the first time. One thing to keep in mind is that hot spots can spread alarmingly fast and they often require medical treatment to rapidly kill the bacteria and promote healing.
In addition, hot spots, particularly chronic ones, can be signs that deeper and potentially more serious problems need to be addressed. Work with your vet to make sure the problem is not being caused or exacerbated by diet, underlying immune dysfunction, or food allergies.

I have wanted to thank you for your CBD oil that gave some relief to my sweet 17 year old Therapy dog when she was fading away before me,💔 but still not ready to leave.. I believe it helped her get through her restless nights more comfortably.
I truly appreciate your personal touch and Quality product.
I’m sorry I wasn’t aware until now, of your Balm for Hot Spots! I look forward to speaking with someone about it as I now have 2 Goldens that are starting to develop issues, and I would very much like to try some!
I wanted to attach a picture of my beautiful Morgan, but I couldn’t see where..
Thank you, again and are your products also for humans? ✌️
