My dog's rash is worse, biting hip. Vet spray failed. What to do?

Question

For a while my dog has had a rash and I took him to the vet once and they said to use this spray but it didn't work. It's gotten worse and he won't stop bitting his hip and I don't know what to do. I constantly give him baths but it's hard to wash around that area because it's sensitive. Pet's info: Dog | Bichon Frise | Male | neutered | 11 years and 11 months old | 12 lbs

Poor Stewie! That area does look really sore. From the picture there appears to be two focal areas of redness as if there maybe a healing wound in the area. It is possible that Stewie developed the hotspot around an injury or insect sting. Sometimes inflammation such as this require stronger medications such as oral steroids or antibiotics. If he is sensitive enough that it is difficult for you to bathe that area and you feel the spray is not working it would be best for you to have Stewie examined by your veterinarian again so that they may prescribe stronger medications.
