My dog has red scabs or rash on his hind legs and privates. What is it?

Question

I have a little over a year old lab/retriever, terrier mix and recently he has gained little red what look like scabs or a rash . We had gave him a different type of food but once we realized the bumps we went back to the food we have always given him (no problems before) but the rash has not gone away. He doesn’t seem to be bothered by it and doesn’t bite at it . The bumps are on his lower bottom, hind legs inner thighs and around his privates . I was hoping you could help with ideas!? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 4 months old | 56 lbs

From the pictures, it could be that Zeus has a rash from a contact allergy, or this could be hives. Try giving him an oatmeal bath tonight to see if that helps with it. If it does not help with this skin problem or it gets worse, I would have him seen by a vet as soon as possible. The vet can diagnose what is causing it, and can prescribe the appropriate treatment for it. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
