My dog's armpits are red and irritated. What can I use for her?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 4 months old

She always gets charged and irritated under her front two arms. Is there any moisturizer or even just anything I can do for her?

The rash you are seeing could be from chaffing. It does not appear infected or concerning. I would suggest using a balm such as BioBalm by Dermoscent, which can be found online quite easily. If there is no improvement I would recommend having your veterinarian examine Chloe so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps!
