My dog has a rash in his neck and he keeps scratching at it and it’s getting worse. Is there any home remedy or over the counter products I can use to help heal this rash? Pet's info: Dog | American Staffordshire Terrier | Male | neutered | 50 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Jax. I would start by bathing him with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula. This will help to cleanse and soothe the skin. If this does not resolve the issue, then he will need to see his veterinarian as antibiotics will likely be needed. You can also discuss why this may have happened based on his exams findings. This will help the rash from recurring in the future. I hope this information helps!
