Rash / Sores On Dogs Stomach

[dammit]

Just wondering, if anyone has come across this before and knows what it is? If its not a common thing I'll have to take our dog to the vet but just wanted to see what others thought.

A bit over a week ago, dog had a few sores which had scabs on her under belly/inside of back leg, didn't really think anything of it except that it might have been a flea bite or something (even though on advantix), but then checked yesterday and the sores had changed and now appear to be brown spots, almost looks like a fungus infection of some kind? They have a slight bump to them so you could say it is elevated. I was doing some searches on the net, which brought up it could be staph, dust mites or yeast infection as some of the possible causes.

Is this something I should try Fido Itch Free and/or bathing etc, or is it going to mean a trip to the vet?

Dog also needs a C5 vaccine in a few weeks time, so if I have to take her to the vet not sure if they could do the annual C5 vac slightly early or if I can hold off for a week or so. Dog doesn't seem to be in any pain, but the spots must be slightly itchy because she is scratching and licking a little more.

Looks similar to something my dog suffered last year.

Do you by chance walk your dog in wet grass often?

My GR can be prone to skin irritations on her belly and I have found that if she gets wet and is not dried thoroughly, she develops those spots. I am fanatical about drying her now, even if she only gets a little wet on our walks, and the problem has disappeared.

Hope that helps.
