Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

Rashes under harness areas are quite common and can be caused by various factors, including friction, allergic reactions to harness materials, trapped moisture leading to bacterial or yeast infections, or even parasites. Keeping the area clean and dry is important. You might consider switching to a different harness material (e.g., breathable fabric) or ensuring it fits properly without rubbing. Avoid applying any human creams without veterinary advice. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance to determine the exact cause of the rash and recommend appropriate treatment, which might include specific topical medications or antibiotics.
