Both my pups had a similar rash until they were about 6 months old.
Used gentamycin eye drops and hydrocortisone spray. Both got a small amount of fleas. I used frontline spray, which is safer in a multi-pet household. The spray kills and repels fleas, but also aids in the itchy "flea dermatitis".

Carefully check your pup. The areas you mentioned are notorius for flea bites.
Check bedding, blankets, etc. Check between hairs with a flea comb. You may have to use a flashlite or magnifying glass.

Good luck to you and your pup.
