Loss of hair in patches. What can cause this?

Okay so last night I noticed a spot on my dog that was missing hair. He has long hair and a patch of hair about the size of a half dollar coin is missing. The spot is red and warm to the touch. Here is a picture of the spot [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/33jia6q.jpg[/IMG]

This is currently the only spot. I would really appreciate any information I can get.

Thank you in advance.
