Red rash under armpits

Hello, I am new here. Hopefully, someone might have an answer to our question. We have a 1 year old basset name Winston. He has a big red rash under his armpits, we took him to see the vets several times and he had allergies shot - he is not getting better at all and now he is limping. The rash is so red that it is starting to bored him that is why he is limping, he is fine when I touched the rash area. I want to help him feel better. Does anyone here experience this with their bassets by chance? What did you do to make he/she feel better?
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thank you

We started dealing with this on our 4th girl. It is a continuing problem and while the shots help the scratch, the redness persists and often needs more attention with the hot weather. Things that have worked (and yes, her pits look just like your pic), clean it nightly with Cetaphil baby shampoo and dry, vitamin D ointment (doesn't hurt them to lick it), cornstarch on the areas, Triconizole (not sure of sp here) shampoo from vet- not all of them at once mind you. But they do work. We also started a low fat diet, gluten free. Good luck!
