My dog has itchy leg rashes after eating egg. Allergy or heat?

Question

The day i give him boiled egg . He is having rashes under his legs the next day .. and there are no ticks fleas .. but there is a little itching. Whats the problem? Is he allergic to egg ?or its happening due to high temperatures in india and i give him egg during this season? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 4 months and 2 days old | 5 lbs

I doubt its an allergy to egg, though its possible. The area that is affected here is commonly affected due to heat, as there is a skin fold there where moisture can collect and the warmth can contribute to infection. Keep her skin clean and dry. If the rash persists, take her to your vet. I would avoid egg for now, but again, I am doubtful that the egg was the cause of the issue.
