Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. The rash is not too concerning based on the pictures. I would recommend using a shampoo called Duoxo PS calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved. You can also apply a spray to the affected area such as malacetic conditioning spray. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
