What's this rash on my dog's inner back leg near the hip crease?

Buddy has some sort of rash or something on the inside of his back leg, at the crease of his hip. It looks similar to when he was bitten by black flies over the summer. I know that’s not what it is though.

Oh I see what you mean! This could be from an allergic reaction or a skin infection. Without seeing Buddy in person, I can't say for certain what is going on. I'd have him seen by a vet in the morning to have this diagnosed and treated.
