He has been facing this since mid February the temperature usually rises and becomes hotter. He eats kibble and home food also, veggies include cabbage, carrot, spinach, etc. along with chicken, soyabean, boiled egg, curd. He had fleas but that has been controlled. But now he has fews ticks very rarely. Why are these rashes occuring? How can it be controlled? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 21 days old | 36 lbs

This could be a condition known as puppy pyoderma. It's roughly the equivalent of acne in adolescent humans. It usually clears up as your puppy gets older and there isn't any treatment needed unless it gets really bad. If so, get him in to see your vet and they can prescribe antibiotics and topical treatment as needed. You can bathe him with a mild, oatmeal-based shampoo for dogs and lukewarm water to help clear the rash and soothe his skin.
