Skin irritation on my German Shepherd...?

There are four spots on my German Shepherd pup, under his front pits and next to his fixed testicle sacks. There is a reddish spot about an inch long and about 1/4 of an inch wide under each pit and next to each testicle sack, along with a small amount of scabing. They get better, and then get worse, never going away all together. Any idea what this could be, and what would assist in getting rid of it. Thanks...

Skin irritation on my German Shepherd...?
My GS has the same thing under his pits and on his elbows and I finally asked my vet because it just wouldn't go away. It's kind of like a rug burn and is probably from the way your dog lays down and gets up. You just have to watch and make sure it doesn't turn into an open wound and get infected or anything. I put Neosporin on the spots when they seem to be getting more irritated.
