My dog has a red spot with really small black dots around it that looks like an underground zit on her foot that is about a dime in size. It doesnt itch or hurt her. Any ideas on what it could be?

It could be ringworm, or a staph infection, or hot spots..but no matter what sounds like she needs to be evaluated by a vet. Depending on what she has there might not be a home remedy out there and as the other poster mentioned it could be contagious to you and your family. Get her checked out.

Good luck!

It sounds like ringworm to me (no expert though!). My cat had it and lost hair around the spots it's not actually a worm it's a fungal infection. The vet will give you some powder to clear it up. It took a while for the hair to grow back but the redness had gone in a couple of weeks. Don't let her in your bed or anything though and wash your hands alot as if it is ringworm it's transmittable to humans.
