My pitbull has red marks on his inner legs. Is it an allergy?

Question

I noticed that today that my pitbull has a mark on his inner leg. It was on only one leg but a few moments later it showed up on the other side. What can I do to help? Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 10 lbs

This is probably caused by an allergic reaction. first of all make sure you de-flea Bubba regularly every month with a high quality spot on (ex. Advantage) as fleas are by far the most common reason for these reactions. If the fleas are not the problem, it could be an allergic reaction to food or an environmental factor. this is more complicated to treat and will sometimes require medications such as Steroids, anti histamines or cyclosporin in order to stop the allergy.
