Plain-English summary
Three hairless dogs, including two Peruvian hairless and one Chinese crested, were brought in for red, ring-shaped skin lesions. The veterinarian diagnosed them with a skin condition called erythema annulare centrifugum, which causes these distinctive marks. Treatment with either oral or topical steroids cleared up the skin issues completely. All three dogs recovered well and showed no further symptoms after treatment.
