I’m not sure what’s wrong with my puppy? He’s 5 months old and just in the last few weeks he has been scratching like crazy. He has a small rash on his chest that he just scratches and scratches. I know it’s not fleas or ticks. But I’m not sure what else it could be

I looks to be a mild skin infection. I suggest you use a product like these medicated pads. If no improvement then he will need to see a vet. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-5393-douxo-chlorhexidine-3-ps-pads-for-dogs-and-cats-30.aspx?SearchTerm=duoxo%20pad+Auto )
