I have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and he has this really weird rash that seems to be spreadin throughout his body. Its on his stomache but not covering it. Just little places. Under his "arm pits" and on his rear and side. It started out on his stomache and now its spreading. Its kind of like a blister and it looks like its eating away at a freckle onhis stomache and his skin is peeling. Im not sure if its a heat rash or something serious. Hes had this for about 4-6 months. My family says its nothing its just a heat rash but i keep seeing it spread around his body. I really need help!

My dog has the same thing, I took her into the vet and she couldn't quite say what kind of rash it was exactly, but to wash it with an antibacterial soap. Now I bought some from the vet, it's called HEXADENE, but it's like $26, so for a cheaper route you could always get an antibacterial soap with no fragrance like DIAL to spot treat the rash.
I do it about three times a week, which the vet recommened.
Happy washing!!!

Mine looks a little like that, just not as much. I tried Benadryl too, and it didnt work. I would go to the doctor, thats what Im doing to make sure its nothing serious. And it sucks cause I was suppose to go to universal tomorrow but I can't now. I hope you get better:]

It could be a number of different things. You should take it to your local vet right away. It is probably a staph infection and won't clear up on it's own. You can't be sure what it is without seeing it.
