oakville you might want to get a skin scraping to check for mites. Could be mange, hot spots, or a number of other problems.

Adding also that it could be acral lick granuloma, labs are prone to this, you really need to go to the vets.
Acral lick granuloma is where the animal licks a certain spot, normally on the legs, the hair gets licked out causing a raw, weeping sore, this can then become infected, and requires medication from your vet.

I love my labs.
