Hello!
My 11 lb Yorkie, Gracie, had a hot spot on her rump several weeks ago. The area (about the size of a nickel but elliptical in shape) was an angry red, had crusty stuff around it and the hair fell out on its own. I used Witch Hazel to cleanse it and applied raw organic coconut oil 2-3 times daily to treat it. It cleared up within a couple of days. Now I believe it is healed but the skin is very dark, almost black, in contrast to the surrounding skin which is a healthy looking pinkish color. Is this normal? Will that patch of skin eventually turn a healthy pinkish color, too? Thanks for everyone's time and advise!
