My dog has a rash on inner thighs. What is it & what can I put on it?

Question

Lambeau has what it looks like to be a rash on his inner thighs. I gave him a bath today and put antiseptic shampoo on the area. Then put a sav cream on. Can you tell me what this is or what medicine I can put/give him? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 5 months old | 68 lbs

Lesions like this are commonly bacterial and less commonly ringworm (which humans can get). Sometimes they are a problem by themselves but if they occur frequently or seem like they never go away fully, it can indicate and environmental or food allergy. Of the two allergies, environmental is the more common. You can wash those lesions every day. Once it is dry you can apply the salve as long as it is safe for pets, or coconut oil. Only a small amount is needed and you should rub it in well. Make sure Lambeau does not lick it as this could make it worse and ingesting those products may upset his stomach. If he doesn’t get better within a week, I recommend to have him seen by his veterinarian. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
