Why is my dog's red, itchy rash on his groin and neck getting worse?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Chance has a red, blistery, itchy rash along his groin area legs and underneath his neck. He has no fleas.At first I thought it was from using dawn to bathe him which I was recommended to use, but have switched to burts bees sensitve. And it is getting worse. Ive given him bendryl with no luck.

He could have a bacterial skin infection. You could bathe him with a medicated dog shampoo and see if that helps. If not, he needs to be examined by your vet for treatment. He may need an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory to treat the problem.
