That lesion may require a visit to the veterinarian. It does not look like a rash, it looks more like an infection. Make sure to protect the area from any licking or scratching with an Elizabethan collar. Keep it clean and dry. You can wash the area one time and rinse it well. If it does not start to improve within a few days, or if you want it taken care of quickly, have Junior examined by the veterinarian. I hope this helps.
