Answer
Hi Katie

I've never actually come across this problem before.  However, hamsters can get various skin conditions.  The problem is that if the hamster's skin gets dry and cracks and/or they are scratching and make it bleed, this can infect and cause problems for the hamster.

I would be inclined to speak to your vet about this and get his opinion.  He might want to prescribe a cream for you to apply.
