A hot spot is a nick name for Pyotraumatic dermatitis and consist of a bacterial infection normally Staphylococcus intermedius which develops and spreads quickly. We call it a hot spot considering when humans touch the wound, it is warm. A hot spot is a painful thing for a dog and it can/will emit pus and begin to smell badly (because the first layer of skin is sorta decomposing; if left untreated). a hot spot is really irritating to dogs. They will bite and scratch at it, try to prevent your dog from doing this by watching them closely and or "keeps an eye on them". If they keep biting and scratching at the infected area this is now spreading the infection further. I would take your dog to the vets to seek some medical help or have your vet prescribe to your a lotion or medication for your pet to help them fight against the bacterial infection.

How do you stop a dangerous dog biting and nipping?

You might be able to train an aggressive dog to not bite, but this will take a skilled dog trainer and a lot of time. In public, you can keep the dog muzzled with a basket muzzle, although people around you are likely to yell at you for bringing a dangerous dog out in public. Honestly, if a dog has gotten into the habit of biting and nipping people, the safest thing you can do is have the dog put to sleep. If you keep the dog and someone gets seriously hurt (or killed), you are liable and the dog will be euthanized then by court order.

Why does your mail dog keep biting people while your female dog is in season?

Your male dog may be trying to mate with your female dog since it's the mating time for them. If that were the case, your male dog would be afraid of other things (including people) encroaching on its potential mate. Therefore, it would be extremly protective of the female. Which means biting.
