The gentocin spray has steroid and antibiotic in it so it is an appropriate treatment for hotspots. The other spray is not a prescribed medicine so will not have a gauranteed efficacy. Hotspots are sore so the spray likely sting a little. I would persevere with what your vet has prescribed to you, at the end of the day they habe examined Angel, and are a qualified professional and know what is best for your pet.
