Dear Dr. Ayers, My dog has a place on his back near his tail that has hair loss and is very red and oozes mucus that clumps in his hair. He licks at it constantly but acts like it is very painful whenever I try to put anything on it. Do you know what this is and what could cause it? What can I do to make it go away? Please help. — Painful Spot
