Why does my dog have a rash near groin and armpits? Benadryl helps.

Question

What could this be from? It’s close to her vagina area. It’s like right above it. She also has some under her arms kinda in her arm pits I guess. We give her half a benedryl to get it to kinda go away. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 7 months old | 24.5 lbs

Minor rashes like this on Chloe are often due to allergies, which is why it responds to benedryl. You can continue to give the antihistamine which will help. Wiping her down with a wet wash cloth when she comes in from the outside will also help to remove allergens from the outside. Giving her a fatty acid supplement can also help to keep Chloe's skin healthier. Please post again if you have any further questions!
