Red, swollen, hairless skin on a rabbit suggests local dermatitis from fungal or bacterial infection. Take the rabbit to a nearby clinic for a microscopic exam of skin secretions to confirm the cause and severity, then treat specifically.
If a visit is inconvenient, start with a pet-specific broad-spectrum antifungal skin spray at home, such as the Pipet spray, twice a day. During treatment, fit the rabbit with an Elizabethan collar to prevent licking the affected area and accidental ingestion of the topical medicine.
