Hi and welcome! You can get ideas and answers to most anything here, it's great! I have a golden ret that gets hot spots sometime. It starts because she has bad allergies. She starts scratching and chewing and then it's like an obsessive thing and can't stop. If the skin gets irritated it can get like a fungus infection. It's hard to stop the circle once it takes hold. This is what my vet explained to me. The vet usually gives her a shot of antibiotics and an antibiotic salve, and/or a cortisone salve. I'd talk to your vet cuz if you let it go they can get really bad.
