Skin rashes can be present for many reasons. Since it does not appear to be related to swimming, I recommend to have another exam with your veterinarian. Things like environmental allergies and parasites are very common. Less common would be a food allergy. The doctor may recommend some baseline diagnostics and will then formulate a treatment plan. Adding an omega-3 fatty acid supplement for pets can help with skin health in general. Certain diet such as Royal Canin and Nutro can also help with skin health in general. Best of luck.
