My dog's persistent groin rash isn't healing with vet meds. What now?

Question

Hi! Rocco has an angry rash near his groin that won't go away. The vet called it a bacterial skin infection. He gave us bacterial wipes, & it got a lot worse. He gave us antibiotics (Cephalexin 500 mg) & it did not get better, but made him mopey & not hungry. Vitamin E is helping sometimes. He has been wearing his cone so he can't lick it. Could I put a Mometasone Furoate cream (.1%), Clobetasol ointment (.05%) or Bryhali lotion (.01%)? I have them for myself. Or any other suggestions? Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 8 years and 9 months old | 80 lbs

Unfortunately, we are legally prohibited from recommending such a medication in the absence of a physical exam and a VPCR (Veterinarian-Patient-Client relationship). If current therapy has not helped, consider a recheck with your veterinarian. A biopsy of the area or consult with a veterinary dermatologist may be recommended.
