Most commonly, however, pyoderma refers to bacterial infections of the skin.

“Hot spots” are also known as “acute moist pyoderma”.
What that means is that they are rapidly appearing, oozing, skin infections.

Should be treatable by a good Vet.
Oops..Thanks as always Phred..yeah, I spelt it wrong..right after seeing in written down.
It's also called "Puppy Strangles". Her eyes were oozing green pus, and she had a lot of blisters all over her snout and under her chin. She's on prednisone, antibiotics and eye cream. The vet they saw said it can come back, as it may be caused by a faulty immune system. No way to know yet.
