Dog nipping other dogs

I love to take my dog to the dog park. she loves to run and play with the other dogs. Lately her play is getting so rough that she is getting small scars and hair is falling out. I am most concerned that on her neck there are small swollen bumps. I have made an appointment for her at the vet. I do not know if I should not take her to the dog park and how I can make her wounded skin more comfortable. I have put a loose collar on her to prevent any rubbing and am wiping the area with a cool cloth. Any suggestions.

I think if you search the forum you will see that many people do not believe dog parks are good for these dogs in particular. Hope your pup is okay.
What you are describing doesn't really sound like a result from playing hard. Sounds more like she might have a skin parasite like Scabies or maybe some type of allergy is happening, etc.. I hope your vet can get to the bottom of what is going on...
