Is this a dog hotspot on his back? How can I help it heal quickly?

Question

Brody woke up with this on his back area Saturday morning. I called the vet and she prescribed Gentaved Topical Spray. I wanted to confirm this is indeed a hotspot and not something else. If it is a hotspot is there anything else we can do to help it heal more quickly. Thank you! Pet's info: Dog | American Eskimo Dog | Male | neutered | 10 years and 11 months old | 30 lbs

I do think this looks like a hot spot, but it's difficult to know for certain based on a picture alone. If it is in an area where Brody can lick or chew it you could use an e-collar to help it heal more rapidly. Otherwise there is nothing else specific that I'd recommend.
